Carlac

**Carlac** was a peaceful, snow-covered planet in the Outer Rim Territories. A town inhabited by members of the Ming Po culture existed on the planet during the Clone Wars. However, that village was burned to the ground by the Death Watch, a radical Mandalorian terrorist group.

## Characteristics

Carlac was a snowy planet in the Outer Rim Territories. Its surface was covered in forests and mountains and its atmosphere was breathable to humans. The planet had a cold climate and was dotted with large pink cherry trees that in some instances dwarfed humans in size.

## History

Carlac was the site of a battle of Operation: Counterstrike during the conflict between the Galactic Republic and Nihil. A number of Nihil marauders were captured on Carlac and then questioned, and they revealed to the Jedi that the Nihil were divided into three Tempests and led by Tempest Runners, individuals who wield a great deal of autonomy within the organization. The responses also made the Republic and Jedi more certain of the false belief that Lourna Dee was the Eye of the Nihil.

Carlac was largely untouched and neutral during the galaxy-wide conflict of the Clone Wars, until the arrival of Pre Vizsla and the Death Watch. Vizsla and his troops set up a camp near a local town and forced the peaceful Ming Po into servitude. It was here that Lux Bonteri arranged to meet with Vizsla and deliver the location of Count Dooku, upon whom both Bonteri and Vizsla wanted vengeance. Though things quickly turned sour when the Pre Vizsla was warned to leave the planet by the Ming Po for abducting one of their own and continued harassments of the people. Much to the Chieftain's surprise, Pre Vizsla agreed to leave camp and return his people back as soon as the next day.

When Death Watch returned to Ming Po town, Pre Vizsla brought along Lux Bonteri and Ahsoka Tano to watch as Pre Vizsla killed the Chieftain's grand daughter. Death Watch would later burn the village until Ahsoka Tano revealed herself to be a Jedi that would ultimately result in her capture. Though she would escape along with Lux Bonteri on the starship *Phoenix* with the help of R2-D2 and his small army of reassembled Death Watch shooting practice droids.

Sometime after the events of Lux Bonteri's escape, the Galactic Republic shot down a Munificent-class star frigate. A Jedi Knight and the 104th Battalion under the command of CC-3636 arrived to finish off the remaining battle-droids near the crash site of the frigate. The Republic would later encounter the Death Watch and lead a campaign against them as they fought to destroy many of Death Watch's camps on Carlac. Ultimately ending in the death of Sergeant Kellov, Kherr Dawar, Mord Jayran and Kro Lann and most importantly, Pre Vizsla and the remaining Death Watch to abandon the planet, eventually settling on Zanbar and establishing a camp there.

Many years later, during the Age of the New Republic, a group of cold weather assault stormtroopers serving in Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant touched down on Carlac. They made the abandoned Death Watch camp their headquarters, taking it as their own. The nomadic troopers would rebuild the Death Watch shooting practice droids and use them for target practice. In 9 ABY, Indiana Jones and K-7R3 traveled to Carlac in their ship, the *Bravo Adventurer*. Shortly afterwards, the snowtroopers captured the pair, bringing them back to the camp. However, Jones was able to break free of captivity with the help of K-7R3 and his army of reassembled target practice droids, greatly angering Commander Sharky, the leader of the snowtroopers. Both Jones and K-7R3 were then able to escape Carlac in the *Bravo Adventurer*.
