Raxus Prime/Legends

"On that planet, many ancient secrets, there are."

- Yoda

Raxus Prime was a waste-covered planet in the Raxus system. It was packed with toxic debris and had a poisonous surface.

History
"You don't realize how important a datapad is until you're stranded on Raxus prime with nothing but your boots and a blaster."

- Han Solo

Ulic Qel-Droma unleashed the Dark Reaper upon Republic troops here in 3,996 BBY, during the Great Sith War. In a mysterious and unexplained turn of fate, the machine was apparently disabled by Ulic before it could begin its devastation. Despite its toxic environment, the planet was home to many ancient secrets, among which was the location of the Force Harvester, which was the power source for the long-dismantled Dark Reaper.

Aach Een and his parents moved there from Iridonia. Sometime prior to the Clone Wars, the Meeknu clan was transplanted there from Tatooine to work the machinery.

Raxus Prime was the birthplace of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and served as Count Dooku's personal fortress from 24 BBY until 22 BBY. Dooku found the Harvester on Raxus Prime during the years shortly before the Clone Wars. The planet was the staging ground for the Battle of Geonosis. Dooku held Boba Fett prisoner there for a period following the death of his father. Republic forces attacked the planet in 22 BBY, but Dooku was able to escape with the Force Harvester, and later used the device to wreak havoc during the Clone Wars.

Following the Clone Wars, Darth Vader's secret apprentice visited the world. In 25 ABY, Boba Fett returned to the planet to cull the weaklings from his new force of Mandalorian Protector Supercommandoes by pitting them against Han Solo, who was trapped there for a short period of time.
