- "Hey, one more thing. I'm being transferred off world to the officers' academy on Arkanis."
- ―Zare Leonis, to "Dev Morgan"
Arkanis was a rainy[4] planet in the Arkanis sector of the Outer Rim Territories,[1] and the throneworld of Leeya, the Empress of the Regency Worlds.[6] The Galactic Empire's officers academy was located there.[5] It was also the homeworld of Armitage Hux, one of the key leading figures in the First Order.[8]
Arkanis was host to Project Harvester, an Imperial project regarding Force-sensitives. Zare Leonis's sister, Dhara, was sent here after she was identified as one by the Grand Inquisitor.[9]
Downpours happened on Arkanis at least 2-3 days a week, with the standard otherwise being a near-continuous drizzle. The appearance of sunshine was considered a rare event.[4]
Following the Galactic Empire's losses at the Battle of Endor, Arkanis remained under the Empire's control for a time, but the system was targeted by the New Republic, freed from the Empire's influence and claimed for the New Republic's side.[2] Arkanis eventually became a wealthy planet of the New Republic, aligned with the Centrists, and represented in the Galactic Senate by Senator Carise Sindian.[7]
