Castell,[3] also known as Gossam,[10] was a planet located in the Castell system[3] of the Colonies,[1] situated along the Perlemian Trade Route.[4] The Commerce Guild had interests on Castell and their Presidente Shu Mai hailed from the planet. Castell sided with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars during which it was defended by Diamond-class cruisers, Recusant-class Commerce Guild destroyers, as well as Commerce Guild Bombers and Commerce Guild corvettes.[8] By the time of the Battle of Felucia during the Clone Wars final year, Castell had been captured by Republic forces.[9] In 3 BBY,[11] the Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa worked with several of her peers in the Imperial Apprentice Legislature to levy sanctions against the planet Lolet. Organa then considered the fates of other planets already suffering from Imperial subjugation, including Gossam, and felt guilty that Lolet's fate would likely be the same.[12] During the Galactic Civil War, it was a colony world of the Galactic Empire under Imperial occupation. It was ruled by its sector's Imperial governor, Moff Ssaria.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

Castell was first mentioned in "Galactic Power Brokers," a Star Wars Legends article written by J.D. Wiker and published in the tenth issue of Star Wars Gamer magazine in 2002.[13] The world was confirmed to be canon by the reference book Ultimate Star Wars,[6] which was published in 2015, and makes its first canonical appearance in the Marvel comic book series Star Wars: Lando.[2]
