Legend

this planet, located at the heart of the Both System, was the homeworld of the Krantian people. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Krant was the site of a Separatist manufacturing facility that produced the Decimator weapon, until the facility was destroyed by the Grand Army of the Republic. Because there were few natural predators on the planet, Krant was colonized by the Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The trees of Krant were beautiful to behold, having multicolored bark that literally glowed in the sunset. These trees dropped their leaves twice a year, making for wondrous displays of foliage coloration. During the Galactic Civil War, the Bothans used outposts on Krant as nodes along their spy network until Moff Yittreas took command of the planet.
