Description
The first casualty in the Yuuzhan Vong War, Sernpidal is better known to the heroes of the Rebellion as the site of Chewbacca's last stand.
Before its destruction, Sernpidal occupied the Dalonbian sector in a remote Rimward stretch of the Tingel Arm—Outer Rim by geography, but more akin to Wild Space in practice. Sernpidal's surface swirled with dust, with most water tapped from aquifers to feed subterranean agro-farms. Plants and animals were indistinguishable, since almost all life consisted of tough-skinned, tentacular creatures that slowly wormed their way across the base of damp ravines. Near-human colonists from the supernova-threatened world of Hettitite populated Sernpidal in 365 BBY, eventually swelling to a population of eight million at its peak. This was enough to make Sernpidal the most populated world in its sector, and a target for the Yuuzhan Vong as they began their invasion at the galactic fringe.
The invaders chose Sernpidal to demonstrate one of their most devastating tactics—Yo'gand's Core. The Yuuzhan Vong planted a tiny dovin basal outside Sernpidal City, where the creature used its ability to increase the gravitic attraction between Sernpidal and Dobido, the smaller of the planet's two moons. Dobido entered a slow, spiraling orbit destined for collision. Han Solo rescued as many Sernpidalians as could fit aboard the Millennium Falcon, but Chewbacca died at the moment of impact.
The crash nearly split Sernpidal in half, smashing loose a chunk of one hemisphere and stripping the atmosphere. But the Yuuzhan Vong had plans for the remainder. They loosed a colony of snail-like biotillers on the broken bits, to digest and regrow them into a new worldship.
Jedi Master Kyp Durron couldn't bear to give the Yuuzhan Vong an edge. Despite the fact that the Sernpidal shipwomb aimed to produce a civilian vessel, he tricked his fellow pilots into thinking that the system held an enemy superweapon. The resulting New Republic attack destroyed all that remained of Sernpidal.
