In the fictional Star Wars universe, the planet Mon Calamari is the home planet of the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. Mon Calamari is the name given to the planet by humans. The native species both refer to the planet as Dac.
These two species have struggled to claim the planet. The Mon Calamari live comfortably on the surface and below although the Quarren live in the depths of the oceans. The planet looks like a blue marble from space because of its ocean-covered surface. The cities are like those of Kamino.
During the Clone Wars, the world was attacked twice by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. First, Count Dooku devastated the world with the Dark Reaper. Later, the Quarren Isolation League attempted to overthrow the Mon Calamari Council. However in the Republic comic line numerous Mon Calamari supported Dooku in the attack on Kamino including Merai and they said all the planet would support the CIS. No reason for this was ever given.
The Mon Calamari Cruiser, the main cruisers of Rebel Alliance / New Republic are built on Mon Calamari. An example of these ships is the great NRS Home One, used by the Rebel Alliance in the Battle of Endor.
At the creation of the New Republic, Mon Calamari served as the temporary capital of the weak and inept government for the first two years. The Provisional Council was also located on this world and held its meetings there as well.
During the reborn Emperor's campaign, Mon Calamari was attacked by a fleet of World Devastators and only barely survived.
During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Mon Calamari was the capital of the Galactic Alliance, and was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong but did not fall.
