Zonama Sekot is a sentient planet capable of travelling through space. It is a peaceful world known for its fast and organic starships. The living world was also a seed of the original homeworld of the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong, which was destroyed in a devastating civil war. Zonama Sekot plays an important role in the New Jedi Order novels, for it harbors the long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong.
The planet first appeared in the novel Rogue Planet, which was set during the time of the Old Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker travelled to Zonama Sekot to purchase a starship and to find fellow Jedi Vergere. The Jedi eventually learned that Zonama Sekot had been attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong after its inhabitants refused to give them one of their organic ships. The attack was stopped when Jedi Knight Vergere offered herself to the Yuuzhan Vong in order that the living world not be harmed. Zonama Sekot was later attacked by Tarkin, a Republic commander at the time. In response, the living world unveiled its massive hyperspace system and fled into the Unknown Regions.
Years later, after the Yuuzhan Vong captured the capital world Coruscant, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade and Jacen Solo, along with several Jedi and droids, travelled into the Unknown Regions to find Zonama Sekot. In The Final Prophecy, the Executor Nom Anor, disguised as Yu'shaa, the leader of the underground Jeedai heretics, attempts to destroy the living world. Later, in The Unifying Force, Zonama Sekot travels to Yuuzhan Vong-held Coruscant (renamed Yuuzhan'tar) and welcomes the Yuuzhan Vong "home" revealing itself to be a moon from their primordial home world that fled when then Yuuzhan Vong became warlike and were stripped of the Force by the original Yuuzhan'tar. Taking the remaining Yuuzhan Vong the planet then returned to Unknown Regions. A jedi representative was stationed there during the Killick crisis and the Vong have adjusted to peace somewhat.
