Cona, the arid planet situated in the Inner Rim of the galaxy, served as the original homeworld for the Arcona species. One Arcona, a male named Hem Dazon, found himself marooned on Tatooine and often frequented Mos Eisley cantina. His inability to journey back to his planet stemmed from squandering all of his credits on salt and juri juice. It was a desert environment.
The first mention of Cona within Star Wars canon occurred in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game, a product of Fantasy Flight Games, which was released in 2016.
Within Star Wars Legends continuity, the initial reference to Cona appeared in Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races. This was a supplementary work penned by Troy Denning for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, and it saw publication in 1989.
