Cermau, a world found in the Outer Rim Territories, was a planet linked via hyperspace route to Bakura, Endor, and Mokivj.
A freighter belonging to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was preparing for a journey from Batuu to Mokivj, had Cermau programmed as its destination in its navigational systems. During an inspection of this freighter, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Chiss Ascendancy Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo uncovered the fact that its stated destination was a lie; Skywalker remarked that the planet was unfamiliar to him. Mitth'raw'nuruodo then inferred that the freighter was actually headed to Mokivj, which lies along the path connecting Batuu and Cermau. The historian and writer Eloc Throno featured Cermau on a map contained within Traveler's Guide to Batuu, his published work.
The first mention of Cermau occurred in Thrawn: Alliances, a novel released in 2018 and penned by Timothy Zahn.
