Balamak was an agriworld in the Taldot sector which housed a vital HoloNet node, and provided most of the sector's agricultural resources. The Battle of Balamak was fought in 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars, in which the communications jamming system set up there by the Separatists was neutralized by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Adar Tallon, and the forces of the Galactic Republic. In 25 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong invaded and occupied the world as they made their way toward Hutt Space.
