Myrkr

Myrkr was a forested world, located fairly close to the galaxy's major population centers. It was the Neti homeworld, although the Neti established a colony on Ryyk some time prior to 4,000 BBY, apparently abandoning Myrkr. 
==History==
In 3,963 BBY, Myrkr was the site of fighting during the Mandalorian Wars. Myrkr was settled by Humans circa 300 BBY. During the Clone Wars, many pirates, criminals, and bounty hunters hid on Myrkr because the ysalamiri were avoided by the Jedi and it was a perfect place for a base of operations because the high metal content of the flora confused most sensor equipment. Despite its relatively central location, Myrkr was generally ignored by galactic society during the time of the Galactic Republic. The guardian of Nomi Sunrider's holocron was known to be from the race that inhabited Myrkr.
Myrkr was home to the ysalamiri, creatures which created bubbles which pushed back the Force. This ability evolved to protect them from pack animals called vornskrs, the only known animals to hunt exclusively by sensing the Force. The ysalamiri lived on olbio trees. 
Near the end of the Galactic Republic, a smuggler known as Dalin Flime decided to try and breed Ysalamiri with the aim of selling the creatures across the core after discovering how to remove the creatures from their tree. His scheme initially proved largely successful in the early years during its infancy with the small creatures becoming quite tameable pets, however his decision to trade these creatures across the core and eventually Coruscant brought him under the attention of the newly formed Galactic Empire. When Imperials discovered the Ysalamir's odd abilities, Flime was arrested and executed on grounds of treason. The Empire then immediately dispatched a research team to Myrkr in order to unlock the secrets of the Ysalamir's latent abilities. In the aftermath of the execution, the Empire passed a law making any trade or ownership of the Ysalamir creature an illegal offence punishable by death without trial.
