Legend

this planet was the homeworld of the Falleen race. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Falleen experienced a boom in the construction of factories and manufacturing facilities, as corporations found it was cheaper to maintain such facilities on remote planets. Later, during the early years of the New Order, Darth Vader set up a bacteriological research outpost on the planet. When a highly-destructive bacterium got loose, Vader acted without remorse. He ordered his ships in orbit to raze the laboratory and the city surrounding it. Vader wiped out the bacterium, along with an entire city and over two hundred thousand Falleen. Among the dead were Prince Xizor's parents, a brother and two sisters, and three uncles. Decades later, Falleen fell to the Yuuzhan Vong, shortly after the destruction of the Fondor shipyards and Hosk Station.
