Nkllon/Legends

Nkllon was a small, mineral rich, harsh world in the Athega system. Its surface was covered in plains of searing rock, impact craters and volcanic features. Nkllon was home to the Lava Worm that lived in the hot pools beneath molten waterfalls.



The crust of the planet was rich in the minerals hfredium, kammris and dolovite: metals vital in construction of starships. Mining operations were previously impossible in the planets however, as Nkllon was bathed in lethal radiation from its small orbit around Athega during the day, but Lando Calrissian took a gamble at an operation to mine Nkllon. Using a giant mobile mining complex called Nomad City, the operation could be carried out permanently during the night time, with ships visiting the system being protected by giant, super cooled radiation umbrella vessels called shieldships.

Grand Admiral Thrawn raided Nomad City, stealing millions of credits and its stockpile of resources, damaging Nomad City beyond repair. The workers were evacuated, but Nomad City was utterly destroyed by the intense radiation of Nkllon's daytime.
