The verdant, jungle-dominated planet of Lao-mon, also referred to as Sh'shuun by its Shi'idese inhabitants, served as the native environment for both the metamorphic Shi'ido species and a plethora of sizable predatory creatures. The Shi'ido opted for isolation from the broader expanse of the galaxy, communicating their willingness to reach out to the New Republic at a time of their choosing.
Within The New Essential Guide to Alien Species, the nomenclature for this world is given as Lao-man, while the novel Darth Plagueis refers to it as Laomon.
