Felucia (planet)

Felucia was a planet that was sprawling with life. It was known well in the galaxy for the many conflicts that took place on the surface.

Clone Wars
Around 19 ABY the Seperatists had invaded the planet and took control of it. In return, the Republic acted back by sending the 501st Legion to the planet along with Jedi Master Aayla Secura. They had emerged victorious by crippling their defenses. When preparing for their departure after the battle, Emperor Palpatine had issued Order 66 and the clones had killed Secura.

Rise of the Empire
The last surviving member of the Jedi council after Order 66 was Jedi Master Shaak Ti. She had escaped to this planet along with her apprentice Maris Brood for protection. They were guaranteed protection by the Felucians. When the Empire had learned of their presence there, Darth Vader had sent his secret apprentice Galen Marek to the planet to kill Shaak Ti. Although the Felucian defense was heavy, they were no match for his dark powers. He had killed Shaak Ti and then returned to the planet later to save Senator Bail Organa from the clutches of Maris Brood, who had became corrupted after her masters death. Years later the crime lord Tyber Zann had stolen a Sith artifact that was being held by Jabba the Hutt. His partner Urai Fen had successfully stole it but Zahn was captured for crimes against the Empire.

Galactic Civil War
Felucia was once again a battlefield when the force active imperial general Darth Nickal had challanged the Rebel commander Kyle Katarn to small battle on the planets plains with whatever forces they could assemble. Both sides had fought nobely but the Rebellion had emerged victorious and Katarn had killed Nickal during the Battle.
