Delrakkin/Legends

Delrakkin was the Delrakkin homeworld. It was one of three planets in the Delrakkin system, almost beyond the Outer Rim, at the end of an old trading route, on the opposite side of the galaxy from Yavin. It was a stormy green jungle world surrounded by multiple rings. It was the location of Delrakkin City atop a mountain. The Empire banished the native Delrakkin people from the city and populated it with Imperial colonists. The Empire attempted to grow alazhi plants on Delrakkin and faked a Rebel attack on Delrakkin city with X-wings. The Imperial X-wings were shot down by a single Rebel pilot in a Y-wing.

Description
"Spacers say that Delrakkin's greatest natural resource is its bad weather."

- Han Solo

The planet Delrakkin was located with in the Delrakkin system, which was at the end of a hyperlane that led to the Outer Rim Territories. It shared the system with two other planets, but was the only one to sustain life.

Delrakkin had constantly stormy weather, but apart from that, its climate was very similar to that of Thyferra. The tumultous weather was refered to as Delrakkin's greatest natural resource by some, and it was so dangerous that most of the planet's natives lived underground. The only place considered civilized on the planet was Delrakkin City, which was situated on a high mountain, above the clouds and storms.

History
At some stage during the Imperial era, groups of Stenax immigrated to Delrakkin after their homeworld of Stenos was invaded by the Galactic Empire. The purpose of the Stenax on Delrakkin was to survey whether or not the planet was a candidate for conquest, as they were doing simultaneously on such worlds as Kabray, Cilpar, and Hunter's World. To make the most out of their reconnaissance, the Stenax also examined the technology of the Delrakkins. The planet itself was considered a good place to hide by smugglers, until the Galactic Empire invaded the planet, forcing the Delrakkin out of Delrakkin City. The Imperials tolerated the native presence, on the condition that they not enter their city. Instead, Delrakkin City was populated by Imperial citizens.

In 0 BBY, a shipment of alazhi was planted on Delrakkin, as part of a scheme initiated by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. To ensure the scheme was carried out, Admiral Termo's Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Liquidator remained in constant orbit over the planet. Following the Battle of Yavin, Termo took the ship out of Delrakkin's orbit, and lay in hiding on the far side of the planet's closest moon.

Inhabitants
Following their eviction from Delrakkin City by the Empire, the planet's natives, the Delrakkin, chose to live underground, keeping themselves safe from the planet's constantly violent weather. Immigrants lived in Delrakkin City, far away from the natives atop a high mountain.

Delrakkin City
Delrakkin City was situated atop a tall mountain, above the planet's stormy cloud cover. Built by the Delrakkin, the planet was home to Imperial citizens following the Galactic Empire's invasion of the planet.
