⬢ CURATED RECORDN'Klon — Nkllon in the Thrawn books — is a tidally locked rock in the Athega system. The day side cooks. The night side is where Lando Calrissian ran Nomad City, a moving mining operation that hid from the sun on rails and shields.
Dark Force Rising sends Luke and Lando here, then lets Thrawn steal the mole miners. Shieldships are how you arrive without dying. Searches for Nomad City mean this world. The catalog spelling is N'Klon.
