Legend

this was the third, and primary, planet in the Prakith System, located some 106 light-years past the borders of the New Republic, in the Deep Core. It was under the control of the Warlord Foga Brill during the tenure of Leia Organa-Solo as Chief of State of the Republic. Prakith was orbited by a pair of moons. The planet was one of the most fortified worlds of the Empire, because of its landscape and the amount of military assets based on or in orbit around the planet. The terrain of Prakith was dominated by rugged, mountain-covered landmasses and unpredictably deep oceans. Much of the landscape on Prakith was caused by seismic and tectonic activity that occurred early in its lifecycle, which resulted in very few open fields. Many of the populated areas on Prakith were located on plateaus, most of which were surrounded by deep canyons and caverns. As a result, cloud cars and airspeeders were required to move from city to city. Prakith was one of the first Deep Core worlds on which the Empire established a military presence, and it was on Prakith that the Inquisitors were based during the height of the New Order. After many years of fighting, Foga Brill eventually was forced to cede control of Prakith to the New Republic.
