Nam Chorios was a rather desolate planet in the Chorios system that still supported Human life. It was even able to grow vegetation, such as brachniel and gomex moss. The planet was in a constant state of dusk due to its dim sun. About 752 BBY, the planet was colonized by refugees from Meridian. The Grissmath Dynasty of Meridian founded a penal colony on the world around 700 BBY. The Grissmaths introduced drochs to the planet in a failed attempt to kill the prisoners. Centuries later, a Hutt Jedi named Beldorion traveled to Nam Chorios and discovered that its Tsil crystals' energy magnified his Force abilities. Beldorion would set himself up as a petty local tyrant.
