Secret Laboratory

A secret laboratory was owned by the scientist Derg Prantis on the planet Lok during the Galactic Civil War.
==History==
By the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Tatooinian biologist Derg Prantis obtained a sample of the dreadful Blackwing virus from an Imperial scientist. The Empire had secretly recruited a group of scientists on the planet Dathomir to turn the virus into a bioweapon. Prantis therefore built a secret laboratory on the remote planet Lok to conduct his own research on the virus in order to create a super soldier drug.
Derg Prantis was soon betrayed by his lab assistant, Bera Jeza, who contacted the Hutt Crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure to sell him the super soldier drug. Having discovered the betrayal, the scientist requested his long time associate Cale Herron to help him evacuate his secret lab and destroy evidence. However, the lab was brutally attacked before Herron could intervene and the entire staff was assassinated. Prantis eventually returned to Tatooine.
In 1 ABY, Derg Prantis was assassinated in the Mos Eisley Biolab. A spacer investigating the crime later encountered the Zabrak slicer Cale Herron. The latter tasked the spacer with traveling to Lok and searching for clues in the secret laboratory. The spacer ended up finding a mysterious datapad next to the body of a dead Twi'lek. The investigation finally led to the discovery of the Blackwing virus outbreak on Dathomir.
