Background: "Krake's Planet" was discovered
approximately two-hundred years ago by explorer
Zebulon Krake. With no precious resources to speak of,
and little interest on the part of anyone else, the
Republic granted Krake ownership of the world. He set
up his own homestead on the planet, and although
some others settled there as well, they were few and
far between.
There is one distinctive form of indigenous life on
Krake's planet--a slug-like creature that secretes a resin
which can harden into a durable crystalline-like
substance. These creatures are easily frightened, and
pose no threat to humanoids.
Following Krake's death, ownership reverted to the
Republic. When the Republic was replaced by the
Empire, all settlers were forced to relocate.
Unbeknownst to the galaxy at large, the Empire elected
to use the lack of interest in Krake's Planet to establish a
secure, central information storage facility for all
personnel data for the Empire
