Legend

this planet, located in the Kathol Outback, stands at the far end of the Galtea Run. Originally settled as a sister colony to Gandle Ott in order to accommodate those settlers who were looking for more isolation than usual, Timbra Ott became a penal colony maintained by the government of Kal'Shebbol after a series of earthquakes and tidal waves destroyed much of the settlement there. The planet's natural beauty recovered in time, and the convicts who were exiled there worked hard to make the planet liveable. When the Empire decided to strand the colonists on Timbra, rather than maintaining the facility, a series of riots broke out before a group of individuals took control of the planet and formed their own government. Since that time, the planet has re-asserted itself as a simple colony world, although most other residents of the Kathol Outback still consider the people of Timbra Ott to be convicts and criminals.
