Krant Krant was a wilderness planet in the Bothan sector . It saw action from the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War , and the Jedi Master Echuu Shen - Jon hid on Krant during decades until Princess Leia Organa appeared on the planet , searching for the Bothan agent Utric Sandov . Geography . Krant was characterized by temperate forests and cliffs . The trees of Krant were a spectacular multi - colored variety , which glowed in the diffuse sunsets and shed their enormous leaves in two seasonal cycles . The predators of Krant were few and far between , leaving a large ecological niche in which herbivores and insects thrive . The Krantian songbirds filled the night sky with their calls and melodies , making for a bucolic , if noisy , setting for the newly - arrived colonists . Its two major cities , Peche and Theenes , were agricultural in nature . Le ' Roche , another city , was on an island . Krant had two moons and numerous orbiting asteroids that were caught in its gravity well . One of the main moons , Aereen , was mineral - rich . By 6 ABY , one of the asteroids , Hanoon , had been terraformed and renamed Geddes . History . Humans and Bothans colonized the world shortly before the Clone Wars , and Wookiees established a colony there which the Confederacy General Sev ' rance Tann destroyed as she set up a fortress on Krant in 22 BBY . The surviving Wookiees helped Echuu Shen - Jon destroy Tann ' s fortress . Shen - Jon felt he gave into the dark side when he killed Tann , and exiled himself on Krant . Years later Krant became a major rendezvous point for Bothan spies and Rebels during the Galactic Civil War . It was scouted several times by the Galactic Empire as a possible base , endangering the Rebel operations there . Moff Yittreas was placed in charge of Krant , and became known as the Butcher of Krant , after killing thousands of Krantian s on charges of political treason . After the Battle of Yavin , the Empire took over the Alliance ' s Ghost Base , which was subsequently liberated , along with Peche and Theenes , by an Alliance strike force led by Shen - Jon and Leia Organa — whose ship , the " Cretacian " , had crashed on the planet previously . Organa then completed her mission , meeting with the Bothan spy Utric Sandov . There were also two abandoned Sith temples and ancient Jedi ruins on the planet . Behind the scenes . Krant was first mentioned in the for the 2001 video game " , " released a week before the game itself . The game ' s Databank claims Krant is found ' in the center of Both system ' , a system of the Mid Rim . However all seven planets of that system are known ( Yeltha , Taboth , Bothawui , Golm , Ganash , Hoppawui and Jentawui ) and none of them is called Krant ( unless we take it as Krant being an alternate name for Golm ) . To make matters more complex , a mission briefing of the game states that Krant is in the Outer Rim but this is discarded as a mistake since it contradicts the both previous sources ; the Bothan Sector is in the Mid Rim . The 2009 reference book " The Essential Atlas " established that Krant belongs to the Krant system , located in the Bothan sector . During a Echuu Shen - Jon campaign mission in the 2002 " , " Anakin Skywalker and Palpatine can be seen by a Sith Temple on Krant , an Easter Egg for the game , but this was not at the time Anakin was falling to the dark side , reducing this to a non - canonical easter egg . The scene is hidden in a corner of the map .
