Legend

this planet, the fifth of twelve worlds in the Kidriff System was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was strategic for two reasons: first, it was a wealthy trade depot world along several hyperspace routes; second, its natural resources included several heavy alloys which were used to improve the strength and durability of TIE Fighter hulls. After the Battle of Endor, the system was usurped by the Warlord Zsinj, and represented the furthest point Coreward that his influence extended. The governing body of the planet chose to build it up in the image of Coruscant, so much of the planet is covered by gleaming cityscapes. However, the planet's cities are relatively new compared to Coruscant's, and so the atmosphere is still clear. The Imperial forces there relaxed much of their security measures in order to increase the trade flowing through Kidriff 5's ports.
