Balor

Balor is a verdant and mountainous Outer Rim jungle world within the Esstran Sector.

At some point in the distant past, Balor was settled and subsequently abandoned. During the time of the reconstituted Sith Empire, knowledge of Balor remained sparse. The planet was considered totally abandoned until the arrival of a resurrected Darth Nox in 42 BBY. Interestingly, despite being abandoned, Darth Nox encountered an abandoned alien child within the jungles of Balor. Nox named the child 'Alastor' and raised him as his own

Over time, Darth Nox used the force to subtly draw spacers to the planet were they were converted into Nox's followers. During the Clone Wars Balor boasted a population of about a million individuals. Even after officially joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, Balor's location remained a closely-guarded secret.

Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Nox fortified Balor, transforming it into a mighty stronghold. During the Imperial Civil War, Balor would serve as the capital of Darth Nox's faction. In 6 ABY the planet was besieged by the forces of the New Republic under the command of Zeck Lathorne who had come to put an end to Darth Nox once and for all.
