Legend

this planet was a member of the Old Republic. It was a relatively wealthy world which was controlled by a monarchy, but over time the government was changed to a democracy. Jenna Zan Arbor used the planet and its government to help fund her experiements into the workings of the Force, seeding the planet's oceans with a bacteria that she had engineered. She would come to the "rescue" of Belasco, only to discover that the bacteria had come back seven years later. The Belascans accepted her explanation of a recurring baceterial infection, and Zan Arbor made a great sum of credits by selling her "vaccine," which actually caused the bacteria to grow faster until the population could not sustain itself. The bacteria then went into a period of remissions before regaining strength again and requiring more of the "vaccine." The bacteria was isolated by Tahl and the Jedi Knights on Coruscant, and a permanent solution was enacted.
