Nigel VI

Nigel VI was the sixth planet in the Nigel system of the Expansion Region. It was a little known Human colony, with large polar caps. It started galactic trade shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

A republican government was recently instituted on the planet in order to fight crime, an endeavour in which it has been reasonably successful. Strict laws were adopted, with stringent penalties for breaches, with execution common for the highest level offences.

The deadly poison lexonite was native to the planet. The penalty for possessing it was immediate execution, by the most speediest means&mdash;hanging, blaster, or airlock. At one time, a group of Imperial sympathizers arranged for a load of the poison to be smuggled out of the capital city of Nargo. The Buzchub, Und'l, hired some spacers to transport the crates to Lohopa II, descirbing the goods as "spice".
