Quedalur

Quedalur was a small planet in the Outer Rim region, that was chosen by the professor Kyvyan Krisse as a place for his Academy, that would later be known as Krisse University.

History
Only a few settlements were known to be in existence on the several desert continents of Quedalur. A small spaceport was constructed around 2,783 BBY, but the planet would still be a rather unpopular place among the citizens of the Galactic Republic.

Around 1,213 BBY professor Kyvyan Krisse decided to establish an Academy on Quedalur on one of the unsettled continents. He bought several water pumps as well as demineralisation stations to produce fresh water.

In 1,078 BBY the Academy was named after the professor, and the institution was turned into University.

The Republic financed the Krisse University for some time, though Quedalur remained neutral up to 3 ABY, when the Empire learnt that some scientists were hiding rebel agents on the planet. It was an operation conducted by ZID-17, during which several members of the Alliance were captured. Saire Ornel and her friend Mack Tawkaster found shelter on the planet as well, without knowing, that the Empire was waiting for them. However they managed to escape before being imprisoned.
