Fest/Legends

Fest was the primary planet in the Fest system. It was a densely populated world with few wilderness areas beyond several steep-ridged mountain ranges and deep valleys. The planet was ravaged both by civil war among its inhabitants, and against Mantooine. The Festians were rebellious to the Galactic Empire and knew that it was about to attack Mantooine, but the distrust for each other, coupled with a lack of communications facilities, prevented them from giving warning. Ultimately, however, the two planets found common cause in their conflict with the Empire, and their combined resistance forces formed the Atrivis Resistance Group.



During the Clone Wars, the Separatists set up a research center on Fest, developing the phrik supermetal. It was raided and destroyed by Omega Squad ten months into the war. During his investigation on the Dark Trooper project, Kyle Katarn entered an Imperial base where phrik alloys were tested, in order to be used for the strong lightweight armor of the Dark Troopers. The discovery of such a sample, led Kyle and Jan Ors to the Blood Moon of Gromas.

The planet was also the site of an Imperial weapons research facility under the administration of Moff Kohl Seerdon. The facility was attacked by Rogue Squadron, and the Rebellion made off with several Imperial AT-PTs.
