Arktus
From Core
Arktus is a planet in the Arkarron system of the Outer Rim Territories. It is a world of rainforests with no indigenous intelligent life; the only notable fauna are the monkey-like scavengers the Taga, which are numerous but friendly. There is a small colony in the eastern hemisphere whose primary language is Bocce. The weather is very hot and humid over most of the planet.
There was at one time a small Alliance outpost in the western hemisphere that was later captured by Imperial Storm Commandos, and a small Stormtrooper garrison was left to ensure the base was not reoccupied. The base consisted of a concrete bunker concealed by the jungle canopy, with a landing bay cut into a west-facing cliff face that opened into a valley.
- Rafe Aquilla and Fein "Cage" Dorn were part of the 51st Storm Commandos who captured the base in 2 BBY. At that time, several supply caches planted by Cage in preparation were left behind.
