Kirrek was a planet in the Empress Teta system. It was the site of two important battles: a first during the Unification Wars and a later one the Great Hyperspace War. In the former, it was the last world to fall to Empress Teta. In the latter, it was attacked by the Sith Empire, which was easily repelled by the Galactic Republic.
After the Krath seized power in the system during the Great Sith War, Kirrek remained loyal to the deposed Lord Keto. As a result, Satal Keto ordered the destruction of three cities on Kirrek.
The planet boasted a highly advanced population which survived, for the most part, off Kirrek's abundant plant life.
Behind the scenes[]
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Kirrek in the Quelli sector (a misspelling of the true Quelii sector) of the Outer Rim.
The planet Kirrek is in the Empress Teta system, but was accidentally not included in the system information presented on the Wizards of the Coast website. According to Daniel Wallace, it should be understood as an older name for one of the other planets of the system, just as Koros Major was an older name for Empress Teta itself.[source?]
