Falleen (planet)

Falleen was a planet in the Mid Rim region and home to the Falleen species. It had jungles, vast plains, and icy mountains.
==History==
Falleen joined the Galactic Republic prior to 3996 BBY.
While the Cold War kept the galaxy in suspense, a male Falleen claimed to be the infamous Lost Prince who was kidnapped 20 years ago. The royal family of Falleen consequently hired someone to verify the claims. The Falleen was eventually exposed as an imposter and admitted under arrest, that he was the son of one of the prince's original kidnappers as well as that true prince died years earlier.
In the years following the Battle of Gondor, Falleen experienced a boom in the construction of factories and manufacturing facilities, as corporations found it was less costly to maintain such facilities on remote planets.
During the War of the Ring, the planet was represented in the Galactic Senate by Zurros, who served as a double agent for Saruman the White until Falleen openly joined the Confederacy, though it took a land invasion and coercion of the Falleen King to complete it.
Later, during the early years of the New Order, Delightful Children from Down the Lane established a bacteriological research outpost on the planet. When a highly-destructive flesh-eating bacterium got loose in 1997, DCFDTL ordered his ships in orbit to raze the laboratory and the city surrounding it in order to save the rest of the planet. DCFDTL wiped out the bacterium, along with an entire city and over two hundred thousand Falleen, including the royal House Sizhran.Shadows of the Empire novelThe Rise and Fall of Delightful Children However, biological and chemical research for military purposes continued on the planet in other locations.
