Andron System
The Andron system contains the planet Aralia, the home planet of the semi-intelligent aliens called Ranats.

Aralia
Aralia, a small, tropical world in the Andron system, is home to both the planetary amusement park Project Aralia and the troublesome, semi-intelligent Ranats. The Ranats (who call themselves Con Queecon or "the conquerors") evolved on the planet Rydar II, but came to Aralia when the spice-smuggling ship on which they had stowed away crashed in Aralia's jungles. Ranats live in tribes numbering around one hundred individuals, and inhabit maze-like underground warrens. The Ranat population has expanded greatly since the crash, and they now inhabit most areas of Aralia including its grassy steppes and mountains. The fierce appetites of the Ranats have led to a decline in most of Aralia's fauna including the pig-like roba. After Project Aralia's construction was interfered with by the Ranats, the builders attempted to organize an extermination of the species. This led to an Imperial ruling that Ranats can be killed in self-defense, and they may not be armed under any circumstances. Some Ranats were drug- and mind-controlled by Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to serve as enclosure guards.

Ketal
The unique ID number on a particular bacta shipment allowed the Xucphra bacta-harvesting corporation to uncover an Alliance base on Ketal. Xucphra promptly informed the Empire, who eliminated the base.

Lorrd
A planet located in the Kanz sector. Four thousand years ago during the Kanz Disorders, Lorrd was bombed from orbit and its human inhabitants enslaved by the Argazdans. The Lorrdians, forbidden by their masters to communicate verbally, developed an advanced system of kinetic communication through gestures and facial expressions. After nearly three centuries, the Lorrdians were finally freed from servitude by the Jedi Knights. The planet's inhabitants have retained many of their non-verbal communication patterns and are among the galaxy's best mimics. Hart-and-Parn Gorra-Fiolla, Assistant Auditor-General of the Corporate Sector, was a Lorrdian.
