Arkania Prime

Arkania Prime is a tropical forest planet plagued by nearly constant lightning flashes, strangely without wind, rain, or thunder occurring with these. It is a planet colonized by humans and many other species. It serves as a trading post to the rest of the galaxy. Many of the crystals used for making lightsabers are found deep underground on Arkania Prime, although the people of the planet do not want to risk going deep underground, in fear of being crushed in rockslides or become lost, never to return to the surface. Arkania Prime has three moons, the first, Vector, a fire pit, the second, Talikas, an icy, fridgid world that boasts no life, and third, Fellus, an unresearched or unexplored forest moon. Fellus has a lopsided orbit around Arkania Prime, and once every twenty years scratches the surface of the planet. The zone where Fellus brushes Arkania Prime is called the Dead Zone, because nothing lives here, including the natives. Arkania Prime is neutral in all political dealings, trusting their native republic to support the people.

Bal'demnic

A planet of stark and rugged beauty, Bal'demnic is located in the Auril sector of the Outer Rim, in the Bak'rofsen system. With its sea-covered surface speckled with small tropical beach islands, it could have been the most desired tourist location in the galaxy. However, a tourist trade can hardly co-exist with a native noisome reptilian species known as the Kon'me.
The sentient Kon'me lived in simple thatch beachside dwellings, though the upper classes built glistening bubble-like structures within the ocean-side cliffs.

Bal'demnic was largely undisturbed by matters of galactic consequence, until Commerce Guild scouts from the Confederacy of Independent Systems discovered traces of cortosis in the planet's cliffs.

Upon reaching Bal'demnic, the CIS delivered an ultimatum to the natives: let mining operations begin, or be destroyed. With little choice, Bal'demnic's leaders reluctantly allowed the Commerce Guild mining operations to set foot on the islands. The beachfront citizens however, were furious and pockets of rebellion emerged

When CIS transmissions were intercepted by the Jedi, Mace Windu was concerned—cortosis is a rare ore that is resistant to the blade of a lightsaber. The Jedi Council dispatched a task force including Halagad Ventor, Sha Koon, and several other Jedi, and a backup detachment of clones to investigate and sabotage the CIS operation.

When the Jedi arrived on Bal'demnic, the planet was in chaos. The Kon'me had rebelled against the CIS and attacked with powerful weapons smuggled to them by unscrupulous war profiteers. After clones landed, the furious Kon'me were further enraged, and opened fire on all off-worlders.

The difficulty of the island terrain forced both the CIS and the Republic to retreat. With the CIS no longer actively harvesting the cortosis, the Republic left an orbital protective fleet to guard against further Separatist incursions on the planet.

, the Imperial forces defending Bastion were heavily damaged and forced to retreat. In the ensuing chaos, the capital city of Bastion, and the Remnant itself, was burned to the ground by Yuuzhan Vong orbital strikes. Rebuilding efforts are still underway, and the loss of life was great, but when compared to the absolute devastation of worlds such as Myrkr, Bastion was fortunate.

Due to Bastion's destruction, the Empire was forced to see that to remain independent from the rest of the Galaxy was foolish. The Empire joined the Galactic Alliance after their victory over the Vong at the Battle of Borosk.

Bastion was later turned into the most heavily fortified planet in the galaxy. After the sith (led by Darth Krayt) maneuvered the Imperial Remnant into declaring war on a weakened Galactic Alliance (ending with the Remnant recapturing Coruscant), they tried to take the Imperial throne. But the emperor Roan Fel anticipated this, and after avoiding the sith for seven years, retook Bastion, knowing the sith would not risk a frontal assault on the heavily fortified planet.
