Kaal/Legends

A former Rakata colony in the Pre-Republic era, Kaal was a tropical resort world. It was a popular destination for Imperial personnel on leave, though military presence was minimal. Following the Battle of Endor, it was the site of a confrontation between the New Republic, Imperial Admiral Kermen, and the warlord Utoxx Prentioch. The New Republic took control of the world.

Description
Kaal was located within the Kaal system, in the Yushan sector of the Mid Rim region of the galaxy. It was situated on the Corellian Trade Spine, a hyperlane that connected it to Chibias and Dalisor. It was a water-dominated planet with a breathable atmosphere, standard gravity, and a tropical climate. Its oceans hosted abundant life, including fish and plankton. Archipelagos were present on the surface of Kaal, and one such island chain formed a resort city, which contained the world's only starport.

History
Kaal was controlled by the Rakatan Infinite Empire from around 30,000 to 25,200 BBY. The region of space surrounding Kaal was explored during the period from 8,000 to 5,500 BBY, and Kaal was within the territory of the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness during the final years of the New Sith Wars. The world was later within space controlled by the Galactic Republic and remained loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars.

Kaal was later controlled by the Galactic Empire, under which it was a major food production world and a popular retreat for Imperial personnel in the Yushan sector. The Empire never exploited Kaal's oceanic life to its full potential, only harvesting enough to support the planet's populace. Several years before 3 ABY, the mercenary Dash Rendar met Lando Calrissian at a sabacc table on Kaal.

In the months after the Battle of Endor, the Empire abandoned Kaal, and local crime lord Tirgee Benyalle took control of the planetary government and the agricultural industry. Benyalle provided several small capital ships to defend the system from piracy and Imperial attacks and to protect food shipments from Kaal to other systems. Using capital from her casinos, she purchased several immense repulsorlift harvesters to gather food from the oceans.
