Arkanis

Arkanis was a rainy planet in the Arkanis sector of the Outer Rim Territories, and the throneworld of Leeya, the Empress of the Regency Worlds. The Galactic Empire's officers academy was located there. It was also the homeworld of Armitage Hux, one of the key leading figures in the First Order.Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded
The planet had at least one ocean and large cliffs on the coastline. The aquatic regions on Arkanis supported the planet's fishing industry. The Scaparus Port was a hub for fisherfolk and had shops with supplies that were catered for their business. Downpours happened on Arkanis at least 2-3 days a week, with the standard otherwise being a near-continuous drizzle. The appearance of sunshine was considered a rare event.
During the Imperial Era, the Venator-class Star Destroyer Vensenor was operating in the planet's orbit as the Vensenor Flight Academy, which produced Imperial Navy officers and pilots, including a number of decorated soldiers. Arkanis was also host to Project Harvester, an Imperial project regarding Force-sensitives. Zare Leonis's sister, Dhara, was sent here after she was identified as one by the Grand Inquisitor.Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks
In 3 BBY, there was a speeder auction on Arkanis that Apprentice Legislator Chassellon Stevis attempted to hire the ship Mighty Oak Apocalypse to take him to off Coruscant.Leia, Princess of Alderaan
Following the Galactic Empire's losses at the Battle of Endor, Arkanis remained under the Empire's control for a time, but the system was targeted by the New Republic, freed from the Empire's influence and claimed for the New Republic's side. Arkanis eventually became a wealthy planet of the New Republic, aligned with the Centrists, and represented in the Galactic Senate by Senator Carise Sindian. When the First Order emerged from the Unknown Regions in 29 ABY,Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the First Order seceded from the New Republic five years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Therefore, the First Order secession must have happened in 29 ABY. however, Arkanis seceded from the Republic to join the military junta alongside many other star systems previously aligned with the Centrists. During the cold war that then ensued between the First Order and the New Republic, the Resistance operative Vi Moradi considered Arkanis to be a planet that held multiple secrets related to the military junta.Phasma
