make the air breathable when filtering breath masks are used. Kessel is too small to hold this
artificial atmosphere, however, so much of it trails off behind the planet in the wake of its orbit.
Beneath the surface of the planet live energy spiders, which spin glitterstim webs as a method of
catching their prey (primarily the luminous "bogey").
Following the failure of the Emperor's attempt to destroy the Jedi enclave on Belsavis, several
designers of the Eye of Palpatine were reassigned to punitive duty at Kessel. The Kessel system
is adjacent to a cluster of black holes known as the Maw, which makes navigating to the planet
difficult and helped glamorize the smugglers' "Kessel Run." While Kessel was under control by
the Empire it was a common smuggling destination for those dealing in spice, and Han Solo once
boasted he had made the Kessel Run in "less than 12 parsecs" by flying dangerously close to the
Maw. Solo's life was also saved on one Kessel run by his old associate Badure. Prior to the Battle
of Yavin, a bold Alliance rescue operation freed a group of Rebel POWs during a prisoner
transfer operation. During the chaos surrounding the Battle of Endor, a Rybet prison official
named Moruth Doole (who had secretly been supplying glitterstim to smugglers) staged a prison
revolt and took control of the planet from the Empire. Several years later, after Doole's operation
was dismantled, the administration of the mines was taken over by Lando Calrissian. Kessel's
moon, which once held an Imperial garrison and Doole's ragtag defensive fleet (which was
decimated in a battle with Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers), was utterly destroyed by a Death
Star prototype from Maw Installation. Lujayne Forge, a member of the famed Rogue Squadron,
89
was from Kessel, daughter of a man who had taught inmates under an Old Republic social
program. [SW, JS, COTF, TLC, HSLL, COTJ, FP, XWRS]
Ketal
The unique ID number on a particular bacta shipment allowed the Xucphra bacta-harvesting
corporation to uncover an Alliance base on Ketal. Xucphra promptly informed the Empire, who
eliminated the base. [SWAJ]
Ketaris
A major trade center as successful as Svivren, Ketaris was the target of an attack by Grand
Admiral Thrawn which became stalled at one point. There was hope from Alliance pilots that
Wing Commander Varth could escape the Qat Chrystac battle and hook up with a unit at Ketaris.
During Thrawn's attack on Coruscant, Admiral Ackbar was on an inspection tour of the Ketaris
region. [TLC]
Khomm
Khomm is a pale green world lying very close to the Deep Galactic Core. It has moonless, has no
unusual geologic features, no axial tilt, and a regular orbit. A thousand years ago, the planet's
alien inhabitants decided that their society had reached perfection. They froze their bureaucratic
culture at this "perfect" level, and began producing clones of previous generations. The
genderless clones of Khomm like to keep to their own affairs, rarely leaving their planet and
keeping the same roles and schedules from generation to generation. The planet remained
neutral during the Galactic Civil War. Khomm's cities are laid out in perfect gridworks, with almost
all buildings and residences looking identical and made from the same green- veined rock. Large
cloning facilities in each city hold a record of all the major family lines. Dorsk 81 (the eighty-first
clone of Dorsk) surprisingly showed unexpected Force aptitude and became one of Luke
Skywalker's Jedi Academy students seven years after the Battle of Endor. The following year,
Dorsk 81 returned to Khomm, and the planet was devastated by Colonel Cronus and his fleet of
Victory-class Star Destroyers. [DA, DS]
Khuiumin
The Khuiumin system was the primary base for the infamous Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirates, until they
were systematically destroyed by the Imperial Victory-class Star Destroyers Crusader and
Bombard. The two warships eliminated all 150 craft in the pirate armada and chased the last
survivors to the surface of Khuiumin-- where their stronghold was wiped out by the Crusader's
concussion missiles. [SWS, SWAJ]
Kiffex
The site of a colony, where the twin con-artists Brea and Senni Tonnika were raised and where
they perfected their deceptive money-making skills. [MTS]
Kiilimaar
A planet possibly in the Eva-T system. It was at Kiilimaar, following the Battle of Hoth, that the
Rneekii pirates arranged to turn a captured TIE Defender scientist over to the Empire in
exchange for a substantial ransom. The Imperial forces, however, double-crossed the pirates and
recovered the ransom money. [TSC]
Kimanan
Kimanan is home to the animals known as furballs-- tiny, tubby, clownish marsupials which are
considered premium pets. They are sold at Sabodor's pet shop on Etti IV. [HSSE]
Kintan
The Nikto assassin Ma'w'shiye, a former Alliance agent, hails from Kintan. [SWAJ]
Kinyen
90
The home planet of the highly social, three-eyed aliens known as Gran. A common sight on the
world are gently waving fields of goatgrass. Ree-Yees, one of Jabba the Hutt's courtiers, was
exiled from Kinyen after committing the highly unusual (for Gran) crime of murder. [MTS, TFJP]
Kirdo III
A hot, arid world in the Outer Rim marked by red, cracked plains of dried mud and the white
sands of the Kurdan desert. Kirdo III is also the homeworld of the patient, resilient Kitonaks, who
live among the dunes where windstorms can reach speeds of 400 km/hr. To withstand the milder
storms Kitonaks stand still, angling their bodies into the onrushing wind. This is similar to their
method of feeding on the small, burrowing chooba by mimicking the sulfaro plant, the choobas'
main feeding site. The vanilla-smelling Kitonaks stand still for hours until a chooba climbs close
enough to be swallowed, which is enough food to feed a Kitonak for a month. The Kitonaks roam
Kirdo III in nomadic tribes of around 100 individuals, following the migrating chooba. Kitonaks
have no natural predators and fear only quicksand and caves, both of which hold mysterious and
deadly dangers. Once each decade a great rainstorm covers Kirdo III, flooding the dry riverbeds
and ushering in the Kitonak mating ritual known as the "Great Celebration of Life." Kitonaks are
skilled at playing beautiful music on chidinkalus, the hollowed-out reeds of chidinka plants, which
sometimes results in their capture by slavers and subsequent employment as professional jizz
wailers. Droopy McCool, the stage name of one of the band members in Jabba the Hutt's palace,
was a Kitonak. Eight years after the Battle of Endor the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine
apparently stopped at Kirdo III to pick up a contingent of stormtroopers, but brought in a group of
Kitonaks instead. [GG4, ROTJ, COTJ, TFJP]
Kirrek
One of seven planets in the Teta system, Kirrek had three of its cities destroyed when it resisted
the Tetan political coup headed by Satal Keto and Aleema. [DLOS]
Kirtania
Kirtania, the fourth planet in the Yyrtan system, is a green-blue world of jungles, deserts, and
mountains, and is home to the arachnid alien species called the Araquia. Kirtania was originally
colonized by several groups of humans, who founded the competing economic states of Surana,
Kinkosa, and Dulai. Over the years, the states have seriously depleted the planet's natural
resources and polluted the environment. The population of the planet includes two million
humans and only 1,500 remaining Araquia. Kinkosa has recently agreed to become an Imperial
supply station in exchange for the modernization of Kinkosa City and privileged trading status
within the Empire. Shiarha Root, the only known cure for the deadly Direllian Plague, grows in
Kinkosa's humid rainforests. Some of the many forms of life in the rainforests include river
serpents and predator lizards. [SWAJ]
Klatooine
The home planet of the alien species known as Klatooinians. It is a Klatooinian custom to sell [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
