- "Haruun Kal, though, we're a whole different place, y'know? It's like the laws of physics are different. Not opposite, not up is down or black is white. Nothing that simple. Just different. So when you come here, you expect things to work a certain way. But they don't. Because things are different here. You understand?"
- ―Nick Rostu
Haruun Kal (also known as Above the Clouds, Haruun Kul or Al'Har I) was a Planet located in the Dustig sector of the Mid Rim on the Gevarno Loop. It was the homeworld of the famed Jedi Master Mace Windu as well as Kar Vastor. Its capital was Pelek Baw.
Overview[]
History[]
Great Galactic War[]
Haruun Kal was first colonized by sapients 700 generations prior to the Second Clone War. It was governed, in the years preceding the war, by the Representative Council.
During the Great Galactic War, an Imperial Black Ops squadron that included would-be Lieutenant Pierce were dispatched to initiate massacre on Haruun Kal. Many must have died during this atrocity.
Imperial oppression and beyond[]
Shortly after the Galactic Empire was established, an Imperial Navy fleet bombarded Haruun Kal.
During the reign of the Empire, war between the native Korun tribes and immigrants, whom the natives named Balawai, meaning "Downfolk", divided the population of Haruun Kal. These Summertime Wars lasted from 22 BBY until 5 ABY. Mace Windu finally brought an end to this war during the Galactic Civil War, in which the Korunnai were allied with the Rebellion and later the New Republic and the Balawai with the Empire. However, in the process of bringing an end to both the long local conflict and breaking the Imperial hold on the planet, he watched his cousin, Kar Vastor, who had been leading missions for the Balawai, fall to the dark side of the Force. The Empire and the New Republic both exploited local wars to secure contentious worlds, and bolstered indigenous combatants with supplies and expertise. On Haruun Kal, the galactic war made a terrible civil war even worse.
