Calamari
An ocean-covered world with little solid land mass, Calamari was originally known as Dac. It was the homeworld of two amphibious races, the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. Because of the role of the Mon Calamari in defeating the Empire, many beings came to call the planet Mon Calamari, or simply Calamari. This rankled the Quarren population, who accepted the name change but used the name Dac in their own conversations. Calamari was a tectonically stable world, lacking any mountains to break up the ocean that covered its surface. Calamari was orbited by a single moon. Its day lasted about 21 standard hours, and its year spanned 398 local days. The planet was covered with deep oceans, with many islands and coral atolls. Much of the exposed land was marshy, and incapable of supporting any kind of civilization. Thus, the two native species turned to building floating cities from the ores mined from the ocean floor. Some parts of the cities were exposed above the ocean's surface, but the majority of the space in Calamarian cities was underwater.

Much of the planet's history was written in the civil wars staged between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari, although these wars became little more than skirmishes as both sides lacked the firepower to destroy each other. That all nearly changed with the onset of the Clone Wars, when the Quarren Isolation League threatened to turn the planet over to the Separatists. Only the intervention of Jedi Master Kit Fisto, and his rallying of the Mon Calamari Knights, managed to fend off the Quarren and keep the planet free. However, the resentment between the two races continued to ferment just below the surface. When the Quarren assumed control of the planetary government, in the wake of the Battle of Caamas, they reverted using the planet's original name, Dac.

Calamari was also famous for its orbital shipyards, another fact which made the planet a prime target for opposing factions throughout the history of the galaxy. For many decades, the Mon Calamari controlled the planetary government, and allied the shipyards with the Alliance and the New Republic. In the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant, and the death of Borsk Fey'lya, the New Republic's provisional government - led by the newly-elected Chief of State Cal Omas - was established on Calamari. After the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong near Coruscant, the Galactic Alliance put plans in place to rebuild Coruscant to once again serve as the political center of the galaxy. Because of its remote location, Calamari was returned to the Quarren and the Mon Calamari when the Galactic Alliance chose to make its temporary base on Denon. In the years that followed, the Quarren assumed more and more control over the shipyards, and eventually allied them with the New Empire. The shipyards were badly damaged when Admiral Gar Stazi tried to steal the Star Destroyer Imperious, crippling the New Empire's ability to produce and repair starships.

Calfa-5
This planet was known for its moons, which were covered in deserts that were baked by the system's nearby sun.
(FH1)

Calipp
This gas giant was the fifth and outermost planet of the Faarlsun System. It had twelve moons.
(WBC)

Calipsa
This planet, located in Tapani Sector, was the capital world of House Calipsa. It was a plain, brown world from space, with little natural vegetation. However, Calipsa was rich in natural ores, and mining operations dominated its surface. This left the planet covered with air-borne pollution, contributing to its orbital appearance.
(PGT, LOE)

Calline I
This ball of searing rock was the innermost planet of the Calline System. Orbiting close to the system's yellow-orange star, Calline I was believed to have a wealth of metal and mineral resources, but its harsh environment made it too dangerous to mine.
(RESB)

Calline II
This planet, the second world in the Calline System, was tide-locked in its orbit around the system's yellow-orange star. The thin line of habitable region along the terminator was scouted as a possible location for an Alliance base, and the team discovered a vast network of underground tunnels and caves, probably the result of prior seismic activity. Unfortunately for the Alliance team, they found that the planet had already been settled by a group of smugglers. The Alliance team tried to negotiate with the smugglers, but an agreement could not be reached.
(RESB)

Calline III
This gas giant was the third, and outermost, planet in the Calline System. The planet had no natural satellites, and its atmosphere lacked any profitable gases.
(RESB)

Callonia
A planet.
(SWCP)

Callos
This forested planet was the site of an intense battle between Imperial forces and the rebels who opposed the Empire's presense on the planet Callos, during the height of the New Order. Although the main battle was a decisive Imperial victory, Juno Eclipse and the Black Eight Squadron were ordered to eliminate the primary power generator on the planet. Instead of simply cutting off the planet's power supply, the explosion of the generator caused massive destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Polluted containment waters and chemicals were released into the water table, and deadly gases were released into the atmosphere as the generator was destroyed. Within hours, a runaway chain reaction of environmental destruction swept across the planet, rendering Callos a wasteland. It was later learned that the destruction of Callos was meant to serve as an example of what would happen to other worlds that dared to defy the Empire.
(TFUN)

Calonica
This planet was the site of an Imperial stronghold during the Galactic Civil War.
(ISB)

Caloria
This minor planet was the primary world in the Caloria System, located in Tapani Sector. At the height of the New Order, Caloria was under the control of House Reena at the height of the New Order.
(LOE)

Cal-Seti
This planet was the site of the Ramsees Hed docking facility. Many Imperial advisors believed that the Black Fleet had been lost in an accident near Cal-Seti, after the Yevetha took control of the fleet.
(DF, NECH)

Caltinia
Lando Calrissian barely escaped an adventure on this planet, some time before he joined the Alliance.
(LTA6, MC83)

Calus
Primary planet in the Calus System. The system was connected to the Wroona System via Keller's Void.
(PSPG, SWJ3)

Caluula
This planet was located in the Tion Hegemony, and was distinguished by the unusual environmental phenomenon known as the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. Located in orbit around the planet was a space station that was known to most independent spacers for its huge stockpile of replacement parts from Lianna. The planet and the orbiting station became targets of Yuuzhan Vong attacks, as the alien invaders planned to subjugate the population and use them for sacrifices in the final consecration of Coruscant as the new Yuuzhan'tar. Despite the efforts of Base Commander Garray and Pash Cracken, Caluula Station was destroyed and the planet was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The natives of both the station and the planet were transported to Coruscant for sacrifice, although many were "rescued" by the Shamed Ones who believed they were following the words of the Prophet, Yu'shaa. After taking the planet, the Yuuzhan Vong installed a yammosk there. This gave the Yuuzhan Vong a base of operations from which to launch raids on New Republic outposts in the sector. However, as the planet's defenses fell, the planetary Governor of Caluula made contact with the aliens to surrender. As part of the deal, though, she requested that scientists still be allowed access to the planet, which was about to experience another Nocturne of the Winged-Stars. The Yuuzhan Vong commander, looking for a swift end to the hostilities, agreed to the deal. However, as soon as the battle for Caluula became a rout, the natives of the planet began stashing weapons and supplies in the mountains, hoping to retrieve them later in an effort to eliminate the alien invaders. All of this military activity overshadowed a larger, environmental issue, which surfaced when the winged-stars emerged from their 300-year incubation but failed to mate. At the same time, Yuuzhan Vong bio-constructs began dying rapidly, much to the dismay of the Shapers stationed on the planet. Then the Shapers and warriors died as well, leaving the planet devoid of Yuuzhan Vong. It was later revealed that the Bothan Intelligence agent, Wraw, had been added to Team Meloque to verify the efficacy of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus unleashed on the planet.

Hordon Cal
This hot ball of rock was the innermost planet of the Thanta Zilbra System. It was orbited by a single moon, but both were destroyed when the Sacorrian Triad destroyed the system as part of the Starbuster Plot.
(CTD)

Mon Calamari
This was another name for the planet Calamari, originally used by the Old Republic and adopted by the Mon Calamari Council after it joined the Alliance. The Quarren of the planet resented this change in names, and continued to use the name Dac amongst themselves.
(JASB, GORW)

Rhamsis Callo
Home planet of the schenor race of near-humans.
