Kiminus was a blue gas giant orbiting the star Kamino in the Kamino system. It was an overlooked planet until 9 BBY, when the Kaminoan Federation created a station in its upper atmosphere as part of its resource-gaining program. This base also served as the staging area for the invasion of Kiminus VI, the sixth, habitable moon of the planet. In 9 ABY, the area of space around it hosted the Battle of Kiminus between New Republic, Imperial and Kaminoan forces.
