Legend

this planet, one of thousands of inhabited worlds in the Raioballo Sector, was the homeworld of the Anx race. It was a world of heavier-than-standard gravity, as evidenced by the stooping posture of the Anx. Note that Star Wars Gamer magazine, issue 7, indicates that Gravlex Med is a low-gravity world. The planet was once an idyllic world, until the Empire took control of the Gravlex Launchworks. Over time, much of the hazardous waste stored on the planet for incineration leaked out of storage facilities, and ultimately caused untold environmental damage to the planet. The native populations of Anx were decimated, and eventually the planet was abandoned as a wasteland. Any orbital facilities established by the Empire were later taken over by the New Republic, and it was here that the Star Destroyer Chimaera was taken for disassembly after the Battle of Bilbringi. However, a team of Imperial insurgents managed to get past the Republic's defenses and recapture the ship.
