Weogar is a fictional city on an alien planet featured in the Star Wars mythos. Located on the planet Clak'dor VII, it has only been presented in the Expanded Universe.

History
Weogar was the capital city of the planet Clak'dor VII in the Mayagil sector of the Colu system. Some 320 years before the Battle of Yavin, Weogar waged a civil war against the neighboring city of Nozho. The administrators of each city were in dispute over patent rights to a new stardrive technology. An arbitrator was called in to settle the matter, but investigators from Nosho used their influence to blackmail the arbitrator into supporting their side of the argument. The mayor of Weogar refused to recognize the arbitrator's backing of Nozho and both cities continued to develop their stardrive technology at a feverish pace, hoping to outdo the accomplishments of the other. Tensions increased to the point that all-out war broke out between both cities. Nozho was the first to strike and unleashed a barrage of chemical weapons that nearly wiped out Weogar's populace. In retaliation, Weogar scientists launched a biological weapon that caused advanced mutations in anything it came into contact left. By the time the war ended, Nezho was little more than a wasteland and birthing place for genetic monstrosities. This gave rise to a sub-species of Bith known as Y'bith, or, Ghost Bith.

The war ultimately destroyed the entire ecosystem of the planet, turning it into a barren wasteland. In the aftermath of the war, the native populace of Clak'dor VII, the Bith, were forced to live inside artificially-sustained environments housed beneath hermetically-sealed dome cities. Since that time, the Bith have turned away from violence and became a more introverted, isolationist race.
