Phaeda/Legends

"A man with his skill and bearing doesn't end up on a dirtball like Phaeda without a reason"

- Mirith Sinn remarks on Kir Kanos's presence on the Phaeda

Phaeda was an Outer Rim planet, with two rocky moons. Of little strategic or commercial importance, its Imperial garrison was corrupt, and so the planet provided haven for many smugglers, thieves and other fringers. This led to diverse species finding a home on the planet, in addition to the many Human inhabitants.



Kir Kanos passed through this planet in 11 ABY, killing a number of Imperial officers and stormtroopers in a tapcafe there. He connected up with Tem Merkon and the local New Republic forces. His presence attracted the attention of Carnor Jax, who brought his personal troops to the planet to capture him. In an effort to avoid scrutiny of his corrupt activities, the local commander, Colonel Xexus Shev, endeavored to capture Kanos and destroy the rebel base. In a fierce battle his troops were destroyed, but the rebels were forced to retreat to their mountain base in the Collo Fauale Pass.

When Carnor Jax arrived, he executed Shev for his failure and took personal command. Capturing the rebel leader, he discovered that Kanos had left for Yinchorr. Departing to catch him, the Imperial troops attacked the rebels a second time. Their base was heavily damaged before the arrival of invading New Republic forces commanded by General Wedge Antilles. His forces included the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Lusankya and the elite Rogue Squadron.
