Vos Khamida

Vos Khamida was a planet in the. The homeworld of the Vosee and a member of the Golden Empire, it was best known as the only location in the Empire in which, a critical ingredient of , could be grown. Though the farming of bacta was nationalized by the Empire, the native Vosee received a generous percentage of the export profits, making Vos Khamida one of the Empire's wealthier worlds.

Geography
Much of Vos Khamida's surface was water, and the depths of the planet's broad oceans were hotbeds of violent predation among non-sentient species. Enormous forests stretched for kilometers, and underwater volcanic vents released minerals into the soil and sand below the waves. Xenobiologists theorized that the Vosee evolved toward a land-based existence because they could no longer keep up with the underwater "arms race".

Vos Khamida's surface was varied and terrestrial, with grasslands, forests, and prairies covering large portions of land, along with mountains and small patches of desert. Its soil naturally nurtured, in which grew.

Society and culture
During the reign of the Golden Empire, Vos Khamida often presented disconcerting shifts from pastoral, untouched nature to dizzying technological wonderlands with little to no transition space. The enormous influx of capital from the rest of the Empire, desperate to purchase Vos Khamida's alazhi and make, meant the native Vosee had far more Royal Credits than they could ever spend. Many eagerly employed offworld contractors to build them technoscapes unrivalled in the Empire except in the large of ecumenopoleis, such as Mezlagob and Classaeria.

Due to its vital importance to the Empire, Vos Khamida received special protection from the Armada. It had multiple redundant s and s, and the Prime Legate (and, after 151 ABY, the Sector Magister) kept several capital ships only a hyperspace jump away.

History
The Golden Empire discovered Vos Khamida some time after the Great Liberation. Once she realized that the planet could produce alazhi, Queen Rin Sakaros nationalized all supplies of both alazhi and xoorzi. However, she gave the Vosee rights to farm, produce, and distribute their alazhi, although it came with a clear understanding that they were also obligated to do so.
