Garqi/Legends

Garqi was an agriworld and the sector capital of the Tadrin sector, in the Outer Rim Territories. Natural elements in Garqi's crust gave the native plant life a purple coloration. From space, the planet appeared a beautiful, hypnotic violet color. It was the source of the beans used to make caf.
==History==
===Clone Wars===
Garqi was aligned by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.
During the Outer Rim Sieges in the late stages of the war, the Confederacy of Independent Systems battled Republic forces on Garqi. In response, the Galactic Republic sent an army under the Jedi General Traavis. A squad of Clone commandos, Aiwha Squad, was involved in the fightings on Garqi. During the battle, Republic artillery accidentally bombed a Garqian farmhouse and General Traavis deployed clone commandos to search for survivors and to bring them to a refugee camp. Aiwha Squad notably escorted the young child Evan to the Republic encampment on the planet. Near the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic finally defeated the Separatists on Garqi. General Traavis was lost during the conflict when Aiwha Squad murdered him due to the execution of Order 66.
===Galactic Civil War===
Prior to the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Galactic Empire established a military garrison on the planet. Despite the destruction of the second Death Star, the Empire still held on to Garqi, keeping its inhabitants in check through the Garqi Eagle Squadron. However, the population continued to resist the Empire, with much of the movement originating from the Garqi Agricultural University, located near the planetary capital of Pesktda.
After Corran Horn left the Corellian Security Force, he came to Garqi on the run from the Empire. The University students knew him through his droid, Whistler. Working undercover as an aide to Imperial Prefect Mosh Barris, Corran helped many political prisoners escape from Garqi. Two of the prisoners were Dynba Tesc and the Duros trader Lai Nootka.
In the following years, the Garqi system was part of the Pentastar Alignment and later fell under control of the Imperial Remnant. After the Empire was driven from Garqi, the planet joined the New Republic.
===Yuuzhan Vong War===
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Garqi was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong. The New Republic was forced to abandon the population, who went underground, resisting the alien invaders. It was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were using the planet as a training ground for their Chazrach slaves. A Jedi-led force scouted the planet in a battle in 25 ABY and succeeded in divining a terrible flaw in Yuuzhan Vong crab-shell armor as it came into contact with Ithorian bafforr tree pollen from the botanical gardens in Pesktda. The gardens were destroyed to conceal this information, but the Yuuzhan Vong discovered the effects of the pollen, and destroyed Ithor as a result.
===Later history===
Garqi would remain under the control of the Yuuzhan Vong for the remainder of the war, until the galaxy was liberated in 29 ABY. After this time, the region was absorbed into the Imperial Remnant, deep in its space during the Second Galactic Civil War and, by 137 ABY, remaining in the possession of the Fel Empire and subsequent Empire-in-exile.
