Legend

located near the planet Ithor in the Lesser Plooriod Cluster, Hoole tried to reach this asteroid mining outpost to gather ethromite for the Shroud. Shortly before their arrival, Hodge and his crew had discovered a cave that was dominated by a statue of an Ithorian. The creature depicted was in great fear of something, with its hands outstretched in front and its eyes wide open. He asked Hoole and Fandomar about it, but they couldn't immediately come up with a reason for its existence. It guarded a well-defended tomb, in which the Ithorians had enclosed the entity known as Spore. The tomb was then confiscated by the Dark Jedi Jerec for the Emperor's use, although its contents had been removed before he could get there. Hodge and his men had opened the tomb, hoping to find treasure, but instead were infected by Spore. Jerec left the asteroid after failing to recover Spore, and Fandomar then destroyed the station in an effort to kill Spore. However, Spore got of the asteroid inside Hodge's body.
