Gloam
Profile
A devastated planet on the Galactic Frontier, the twin of the world Aubadas and the original homeworld of the sentient Katikoot species. Millennia ago resource extraction caused a blight here that turned the Katikoots into monsters, and the species fled to Aubadas. By 382 BBY the planet was on the brink of ecological catastrophe; an ancient city and an abandoned Jedi temple survive on it.

Description
Gloam is a devastated terrestrial planet on the Galactic Frontier, forming a binary system with the world Aubadas. It was the original homeworld of the sentient Katikoot species, who left it millennia before the High Republic era.
The reason for the flight was mining, which caused a plague that turned the infected into something like the living dead. The Katikoots resettled on Aubadas, but over time they forgot their own origins and, since the new world was poor in resources, began once again to exploit the depths of Gloam; only legends remained of the monsters locked away since then. The mining continued to destroy the planet's nature, and by 382 BBY Gloam was on the verge of complete ecological collapse.
