Berchest System
A system that contains numerour tourist atrractions.
Anteevy
A remote, lifeless, ice-covered world with at least one moon. The Empire constructed a robotics facility on Anteevy where the alloy Phrik was refined and treated for use in armoring the Dark Troopers. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent Kyle Katarn disabled this facility with several sequencer charges.
Berchest
A former tourist destination in the Berchest system, Berchest is home to the Calius saj Leeloo-- the City of Glowing Crystal. The city is carved entirely from one massive crystal, created over the years from the red- orange salt deposits of the adjacent Leefari Sea. An icy river flows through Calius to the sea's edge, where the upper-class regions of the city are located. Only a few streets in the city (such as Mavrille Street) were constructed wide enough for vehicular traffic, so traffic on them tends to be heavy. Planetary Governor Staffa and his aide Fingal govern Berchest from Staffa's office in Central Government Tower Number One.The tourism industry that surrounded Calius dried up following the Clone Wars and the birth of the Empire, and Berchest has since tried to reposition itself as a major trade center by using the established trade routes left over from tourism. Berchest was in Imperial territory during the reign of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Thrawn led the New Republic to believe that Calius was a transfer point for the trafficking of his clone soldiers. Luke Skywalker encountered the smuggler Talon Karrde on Berchest while investigating this lead.
Leria Kerlsil
Leria Kerlsil is a backwater world, but is pleasant, clean, and quiet. Its capital city's streets are lined with blue and purple trees, and the city is adjacent to a well-maintained spaceport. The planet is the only source of "life-witches"-- those who can sustain another's failing life for years but eventually withdraw support, causing that person to die. Life-witches appear rarely and are born seemingly at random. Karia Ver Seryan, a wealthy woman who lives in a large, well-defended mansion, was one of Lando Calrissian's marriage candidates until he discovered she was a life-witch.
