Kattada

Kattada was a small peaceful planet in the Outer Rim Territories. It was protected by the Kattadan Guard.

During the Galactic Civil War, a battle took place on the surface of the planet when Princess Leia Organa Solo's vessel landed after escaping the subjugation of the Rebel Alliance base on Yavin IV in 0 ABY. Since the Kattadan Guard ended up protecting the princess from an Imperial landing force, the planet was invaded by the Galactic Empire. The battle was a loss for the Rebels, but the princess escaped.

The planet was later garrisoned by the Imperial Army. To avenge their fallen comrades, many former members of the Guard joined the Rebellion.
