Kh'ymm was an owl-like alien astronomer who operated an ancient telescopic array on the Observatory Moon. When her old acquaintance, the pirate Jod Na Nawood came to visit her with a group of children during the New Republic Era, she assumed he had kidnapped them and called the New Republic for aid. She then let Nawood into the observatory so that she could stall him until X-wing starfighters could arrive to arrest the criminal.
When the children told her that they needed her help to find their way back home to the lost planet At Attin, Kh'ymm revealed that it was one of the Jewels of the Old Republic and that no map to it existed. She then began questioning the children to try and discover the world's coordinates from the information they provided. After seeing Palmarish numerals on the child Fern's backpack, Kh'ymm succeeded in locating the world, but accidentally revealed this to Nawood, despite trying to stall for time.
Realising that the New Republic were on their way, Nawood drew a blaster pistol and demanded that the astronomer call off the starfighters. She refused, telling the children to run and attacking the pirate as he opened fire. After throwing Kh'ymm into a stack of datapads, Nawood took the coordinates to At Attin and destroyed the terminal she had used to calculate them before fleeing with the children. Only the child KB stopped to check on Kh'ymm, who emerged unscathed and told her to find out the truth about Nawood, offering aid should the children ever call for it. The pirate and the children then escaped from the New Republic ships but soon discovered Kh'ymm's coordinates led to the planet At Achrann rather than At Attin.
