Legend

this temperate, forested planet was the primary world in the Delrakkin System, which was located some twelve hours through hyperspace from the Yavin System. Many star chats placed Delrakkin beyond the edge of the Outer Rim, at the end of a little-used hyperspace travel route. Although the planet was covered During the height of the New Order, the Empire tried to establish an alazhi production facility on the planet, since its environment closely mirrored that of Thyferra. The Alliance's leadership later discovered that Delrakkin was the test site of a device which would prevent starships from entering hyperspace, and that the native Delrakkins were to be eliminated in order to ensure the secrecy of the project. A plot was hatched that started with an attack on Delrakkin City by Imperial pilots flying in stolen X-Wings. The idea was to kill or injure as many Delrakkins as possible, while blaming the attack on the Alliance. Imperial forces would have then arrived with bacta - albeit it tainted bacta - from the first Death Star. The plan was for the Delrakkins to readily accept the bacta as a gift in the wake of the attacks, when in reality it was laced with a chemical that would kill the Delrakkins. Only a downed Alliance pilot managed to expose the plans, saving the Delrakkins from certain death.
