Killaniri

Kiilaniri was the star of the Kiilaniri system. It was orbited by Mutanda and by an orbital prothium gas mining facility.

A Gas Giant planet in the Kiilaniri system. It is the second of two orbial bodies around the star Killaniri. The planet Killaniri has 15 known moons.

BlasTech Corporation's prothium refining station floats 40,000 kilometers up from the swirling green, yellow and orange clouds of Killaniri. The planet itself is 154,000 Kilometers in diameter, with an atmosphere mixture of prothium, rethen and ammonia compounds. Incredible storms sweep the thick atmosphere, constantly churning the volatile gasses of Killaniri.

Into this mixture fly the gas collectors of BlasTech. Controlled remotely form the space station, and kept in check by Droids, the gas collectors are larger than most tramp freighters. Plunging through the atmosphere, the various gasses of Killaniri are passed through huge filters and processing stations, extracting only the prothium.

The prothium is further processed into usable blaster gas at the refining station, as it is passed through a complex series of filters and pressure chambers containing pure rethen.

The economic worth of the system, and the Empire's desire to prevent marauders and Alliance forces from acquiring large amounts of blaster gas, has resulted in a permanent and impressive Imperial presence in the system. The Escort Carrier "Terrup" and the Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser "Disorver" are stationed on permanent patrol in this system. There are also two Imperial Customs Corvettes for regular patrol duty. They are serviced by a small Imperial base on the moon of Justa (about ten kilometers from the star-port), which has a troop complement of 600. An additional 600 troops have been stationed aboard Justa star-port for customs and law enforcement purposes. This is in addition to the Corporate Enforcers employed by the companies.
