Fortress world

Fortress worlds were worlds that, following the defeat of the Galactic Empire under the reborn Palpatine and the retreat of the Imperial fleet into the Deep Core, drew in upon themselves, building up their planetary defenses and arming heavily, approaching even the defenses of Coruscant; in this manner, they ensured any New Republic attempt to liberate the planets would be prohibitively costly. On these worlds, the most oppressive acts of the Empire endured, with nonhumans often invisible unless on a slave collar or behind bars. Fortress worlds included Carida and Prakith.
