- "I have good news and bad news, Colonel. The bad news is, scans are picking up giant ice formations commonly called 'comets' heading straight for us."
- ―WAC-47, to Meebur Gascon
A comet
Comets were chunks of rock and ice floating through space.
Eons before the Battle of Endor, a comet named Kinro was predicted to destroy several Core planets. The comet was destroyed before it reached the Mid Rim, and its destruction was attributed to the Jedi Order.[2]
During the Clone Wars, Colonel Meebur Gascon and D-Squad encountered a comet storm near the planet Abafar.[1]
A cometary cloud was located in the Ilum system.[3]
A class of mining ships that mined comets for thorilide were called Comet Chasers. A fleet of them returned to the Calcoraan Depot in 11 ABY after exhausting a fresh supply of thorilide bearing comets.[4]
