Legend

this Bothan colony world was the birthplace of Borsk Fey'lya. It was the fourth planet in the Kothlis System, had three small moons, and its gravity maintained a thin asteroid ring around it. Kothlis was originally purchased by Raynor Mining Enterprises during the Old Republic, outbidding the Bothans on the news that surveys had shown large deposits of valuable ores. However, the original surveys proved overly optimistic and the mines ran dry quickly. In order to cut their losses, Raynor sold the planet to the Bothans. Only three clans were allowed to colonize Kothlis originally: the Alya, the Balya, and Ilya. The Bothan spy network maintained an impressive information slicing operation on the planet. The plans for the second Imperial Death Star were taken to the planet after being recovered from the Suprosa, and were almost lost during an Imperial raid. Kothlis was a semi-tropical world, with an average day of 22 standard hours and a year which lasts 408 local days.
