Description[]
Kalist VI,[5] also known simply as Kalist,[4] was a barren and rocky planet located in the dregs of the Deep Core.[3] It was situated in grid square K-12 of the Standard Galactic Grid[1] and also constituted a part of the Interior.[2]
History[]
During the Imperial Era, the Galactic Empire maintained a high-surveillance penal colony on the planet,[4] although there were no judges or courts present. Prisoners on the planet received only life sentences. Imperial guards would beat prisoners with steel and, for the sake of humor, force them to serve on firing squads, watching inmates beg their friends and family members not to shoot.[3]
Kalist was the homeworld of the rebel pilot Dak Ralter, who was born to a family of human political prisoners[4] in the planet's Scargon region.[3] Ralter escaped the world with bright ambitions,[4] joining Rogue Squadron of the Alliance to Restore the Republic[6] with the goal of bringing about the downfall of the Empire;[7] however, he was killed in the Battle of Hoth[4] in 3 ABY.[8]
