Gonia was a pleasant world of grasslands, rivers, and lakes. The planet was located in the Elrood Sector of the Outer Rim at an endpoint of the Perlemian Trade Route, the other endpoint of which was Coruscant. Gonia was a center of galactic travel and trade. It hosted an enormous population spread among the large urban and manufacturing centers to the small agricultural towns and villages. Its sentient population consisted of Gonians, and the simple, and primitive race known as the Lilmothiit race. Native wildlife included the spinomes, lycan wolves, stors, and the wolfsktaag. The planet had many industrial settlements and advanced technology.
