Xa Fel/Legends

Xa Fel was a populated planet in the Kanchen Sector of the Core Worlds. It was the homeworld of the Xa Fel. The planet readily supported all forms of life.

History
Xa Fel was the site of a major Kuat Drive Yards manufacturing facility that produced 20% of the corporation's hyperdrive engines. The unscrupulous manner in which KDY managed the facility left the world terribly polluted and eroded. Xa Fel was one of the New Republic worlds which surrendered to Thrawn.

In 11 ABY a task force of New Republic warships, including Rogue Squadron, was sent to the system to enforce several judicial verdicts and decrees made against KDY that directed them to clean up their operations and to detoxify the planet itself. Within minutes of their arrival, a task force of Invids led by the Invidious and Admiral Leonia Tavira herself arrived to obtain hyperdrives to sell to other warlords.

In the ensuing fleet action and dogfights, Corran Horn, then under the alias Jenos Idanian, provided a solution to the Invids that would allow them to withdraw sooner without bringing undue harm to the New Republic forces. Unfortunately, as he fought for his own life while maintaining cover, he inadvertently drew the attention of the Jensaari to himself though later he would pass it off as Luke Skywalker having participated in the battle, leading the Rogues there.

It is unknown if KDY ever did follow through with the judgments levied against them and cleaned up the planet.

Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places the Kanchen Sector and, consequently, Xa Fel, in the Outer Rim Territories.
