Dawk, a planet located within the Outer Rim Territories, had a moon circling it in its orbit. In the time frame of approximately 40 BBY to 32 BBY during the Republic Era, the Devaronian criminal named Coir Cion carried out his operations on Dawk's moon. After Cion threatened to use his knowledge of Senator Sheev Palpatine's illicit activities to blackmail him, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious sent his Sith apprentice, Darth Maul, with orders to eliminate Cion and those working with him.
The comic miniseries Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red included a mention of Dawk in its third issue. This issue was penned by Erica Schultz and released by Marvel Comics on June 26, 2024.
