Brolsam Brolsam was a planet within the system of the same name in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories . An agriworld , it was located on a branch off the Trition Trade Route , between the sector capital Kal ' Shebbol and Torize . Although its distance from the sector ' s major trade route hampered its economic growth , Brolsam developed an industry based primarily around agriculture due to the presence of a significant community of Fefze swarms . The planet also gained a reputation as an artist ' s retreat . In 8 ABY , the planet was on the brink of civil war following the disintegration of Imperial authority in the sector after the liberation of Kal ' Shebbol by New Republic forces . Description . The planet Brolsam was located in the Brolsam system , which was part of the Outer Rim Territories ' Kathol sector . The world was reached by traveling along a spur off the Trition Trade Route situated between the Kal ' Shebbol and Torize system s . Brolsam was connected to the Kal ' Shebbol and Aaris system s by hyperlane ; the sector capital of Kal ' Shebbol was one day and six hours ' travel from Brolsam by Class One hyperdrive , while Aaris III was three days and nine hours distant . The planet lacked important resources , and its distance from the Trition Trade Route hampered its development and population growth . The planet developed as an agricultural world , with extensive fields , although there was areas on the surface that contained back alleys . The planet was home to fifteen million inhabitants , divided equally between Humans , Rodians , and Fefze . History . When the Galactic Empire took control of the Kathol sector , Brolsam was brought under Imperial control . Imperial officials were installed to rule over the population , and the new administration was secretly supported by the Nat ' xikta — a small but wealthy Fefze tribe that engaged in spy operations for the Empire . When the ruler of the sector , Moff Kentor Sarne , broke from the Empire following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , Brolsam became part of his warlord holdings . In 8 ABY , following the liberation of Kal ' Shebbol by the New Republic , and their subsequent increase in influence in the sector , many Fefze swarms allied themselves with disaffected Humans and Rodians and began rounding up and imprisoning Imperial officials and sympathizers . Their efforts were disorganized , however , and Imperial forces resorted to guerrilla tactics to keep them off - balance . The situation threatened to plunge the entire planet into civil war . The Nat ' xikta tribe — fearful of losing their status and power on the planet — began plotting to liberate the imprisoned Imperials . They hired Rodian mercenaries , and were prepared to sacrifice hundreds of their own swarm to ensure success . The New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " visited the planet sometime during its mission to locate Moff Sarne , who had fled Kal ' Shebbol when it was assaulted by the New Republic . A mission group was deployed to the planet , and was subsequently attacked by Rodian mercenaries . During a brief battle , one of the members of the mission group was captured . First Officer Gorak Khzam and procurement specialist Loh ' khar the Finder used their knowledge of the planet , along with their own skills and contacts , to locate and rescue their missing crewmate . They also discovered the Nat ' xikta swarm ' s plans concerning the imprisoned Imperials . Inhabitants . Although Brolsam ' s population included sizable Human and Rodian communities , it was the Fefze swarms that shaped much of the planet ' s culture . The swarms were vital to the development of the planet ' s agricultural industry , and their presence fostered a " genteel artiste " community centered around their love of art festivals , sculptures and song .
