Haruun Kal (Above the Clouds in the language of its natives), is a planet in George Lucas' Star Wars fictional universe. It was the homeworld of the the famed Jedi Master Mace Windu.
The first and only habitable world in the Al'har system, Haruun Kal appeared to be an oceanic world from space. However this "ocean" was in fact a sea of toxic gases brought to the surface by volcanic activity, and broken by mountains and plateaus. Only the landmasses which reached into the atmosphere could support life, and thus it was high in these mountains and plateaus where native life evolved.
Native humans of the world, known as Korunnai were all force-sensitive. There were many theories explaning this remarkable phenomenon, the most popular was that which was held by the Jedi Council, namely that during the Great Sith War a starship transporting Jedi Knights crashed on the planet, and that the marooned survivors were the ancestors of the Korunnai.
During the reign of the Republic Haruun Kal was split by war between the native Koruun tribes and immigrants, whom the natives named Balawai (Uplanders).
Mace Windu managed to end the war when he returned to his homeworld during the Clone Wars. The planet's fate after the fall of Republic is unknown.
