The planet of Dathomir lies in the Drackmar System of the Quelli Sector of the Outer Rim. This Imperial prison-world that lies just off the Hydian Way is home to beautiful grasslands and savannahs, breathtaking mountain views, and, overall, unending beauty, Dathomir would appear to many as just another planet in the galaxy. This, however, would be a misconception. For on Dathomir, there lives a population of amazon-like tribes of women, highly skilled in combat and use of the Force. Those seeking to explore this dangerous planet would easily find trees up to several hundred feet tall, purple savannas, mountains, and deserts. In these deserts, one may find the race of semi-intelligent Humans that came to Dathomir hundreds of years ago when a group of illegal arms manufacturers were exiled to the planet by the Jedi Knights. Several generations later, a rogue Jedi named Allya was also exiled to Dathomir. Allya began to teach the Force to the planet's inhabitants and to her descendants, who also learned to tame the wild rancors that thrived on the planet.
Dathomir is a low-gravity world located in the Quelii sector. The planet is inhabited by the Witches of Dathomir, a group of Force-sensitive women who ride fearsome rancors. These "witches" live in different clans that include a group of darksiders calling itself the Nightsisters. The 'Singing Mountain Clan' and the 'Nightsisters' are at odds with one another - and with visitors who fail to show the proper respect. Visitors can align themselves with either side and benefit from trade with these powerful indigenous creatures. The clans are spread out throughout the planet and at most times are peaceful between each other, however the Nightsisters often attack the other clans or any visiters to the planet.
Dathomir can only be accessed by special charter transports operated by skilled pilots. Its terrain is highly dangerous. Besides rancors, the witches are a constant threat on Dathomir.
Throughout the history of Dathomir's population, nine clans of the witches have formed. The ninth, the Nightsisters, learned to master and wield the powers of the Dark Side of the Force. The villages of these clans comprise most of the population centers on the planet.
Current Clan Leaders
Vivianne - Singing Mountain Clan
Dieda - Frenzied River Clan
Lhiannon - Crystal River Clan
Caillean - Red Hills Clan
Miellyn - Ruby Cliffs Clan
Erika Freeborn - Misty Falls Clan
Latis - Northern Lakes Clan
Rheis - Burning Sands Clan
Morgause - Nightsisters
