Description[]
Planet Kessel.
The planet Kessel was located within the Akkadese Maelstrom in the Kessel sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Much of the planet's northern hemisphere was devoted to mining spice, coaxium, and Kesselstone. While much of Kessel's surface was devoted to mining said minerals, Kessel's southern hemisphere was home to lush sanctuaries. The world had a hot and humid climate and was a hotbed of life.
History[]
Kessel was a key world in the spice trade, with slavery being used in the production of goods. During the Clone Wars, Kessel was ruled by King Yaruba of the Yaruba Family of Kessel. At one point, Yaruba's majordomo, Kinash Lock, while acting on behalf of the king, negotiated a deal with Rafa Martez to transport spice to Marg Krim of the Pyke Syndicate on Oba Diah.
For years, the Pykes dealt with spice mined from Kessel, using smugglers and freighter captains to deliver it to the crime families of Coruscant. The Galactic Empire also operated a mining operation, employing numerous slaves, including Wookiees, to harvest spice. Meanwhile, the Yaruba Family of Kessel lived in lush sanctuaries in the planet's southern hemisphere, turning a blind eye to the brutal working conditions in the mines of the northern hemisphere.
King Sonic brokered a trade aggrement with King Yaruba after the Revolution ended.
