Planet Name: Kessel
System Name: Kessa
Sector: Kessel
Region: Outer Rim
Terrain: Desert, cities
Zones: Kessel Shipyard, Maximium Security Prison
Kessel the first planet of the system it was named after is, if not for anything else known for its potato like shape. This planet is no more than a large moon and has become one of the most important planets in the galaxy�s smuggling circles. Kessel is the only source of the telepathy-inducing glitterstim spice in known space. Having no atmosphere of its own large atmosphere producing factories where constructed all over the planets surface. While the planet still remains too small to hold the atmosphere that is created by these factories the atmosphere they do create allows one to traverse the surface needing only oxygen masks. Due to the inability of Kessel to hold an atmosphere the factories are constantly in operation in order to equal the constant loss of atmosphere. This constant atmosphere loss has made for another unique aspect of Kessel; as the planet travels through space it leaves behind a visible white trail of oxygen from its artificial atmosphere causing many to mistake the planet with a comet. Spice can be used for a variety of products but is largest and most lucrative use is to induce temporary telepathy upon its subject. When Spice was first discovered the Spice mines where run by the less reputable elements of the galaxy. The Empire upon examining the wealth that this product provided to those elements took over full control of the spice mining operations in Kessel and sealed of the system with military forces. Requiring a large pool of manpower to operate the deadly mines on Kessel the Empire created a prison on the planets surface to meet the increasing manpower demands of the mine. This prison was to house both political enemies of the Empire as well as other criminals many where given long-term sentences to prevent them from ever leaving the mines with stories of its horrors. Incarceration at the Kessel prison was soon to be a dreaded sentence for any unfortunate persons who found themselves before the courts of the Empire. To be sentenced to Kessel no matter the length of period was most likely a death sentence for any species. Kessel being no more than a moon has no molten core and no atmosphere and thus generates no heat, being in the deep mines of Kessel is near to being in space itself and is just as cold. Constant cave-ins faulty breathing masks and heating gear meant that many prisoners suffered the unfortunate death of either breathing vacuum of space or suffering its environment. On top of these problems, any direct light activates the spice and as such the miners have to work in complete darkness as they traverse the dangerous mines. To make an already dangerous occupation more deadly the origins of the spice on Kessel where regrettably discovered by an unfortunate miner. The spice is created by a voracious species of energy spider native to Kessel who use the spice strands as a web to catch prey. A miner could wonder into one of these webs and find themselves impaled by one of these spiders and be completely drained of energy in mere moments.

Magnus' E-wing re-enters realspace and makes from the shipyard. Magnus lands and hops out of his craft. He walks over to a panel and presses the button.
"I am Magnus Ignatius. I have been sent by the Jedi to investigate the progress of the Special construct. Please allow me to enter."

Magnus tries to mind control the beings, but can not because of the buildings shielding.
"The access code is...... The is only the Force."

Magnus saw the guns appear. He was not scared of them. Only worried that he might not get the most powerful ship in the galaxy- A Super Star Destroyer.
Magnus teleported back to his E-wing and activated the cloaking device. He flew it to just outside the weapons range and waited for Odius to arrive.

Magnus uncloaks and flies his E-wing into his main Star Destroyer. He jumps out and runs to the bridge and sees Odius taking command.
"I want you to bombard around the shipyard, but not over it. I must have that cruiser. I am going to get a task force ready to land and secure the vessel. But remember- Do not destroy the whole shipyard."
Magnus ran out of the bridge and got the task force together. They took Atlas-class Troop Transport Shuttles, full of clone troopers and two squardrons of Tie Fighters down for the land assult. Magnus jumps back into his E-wing and leads the vessels down. As he leaves, he sends a comm back to Odius.
"Aim your first attack at the western wall. I believe it to be the weakest point."

Magnus and the four squadrons of clone troopers land a couple of kilometers outside the shipyards.
"Men. Today is the day you ahve been training for. We are going to get that Super Star Destroyer. Nothing will stand in our way. Once the wall has fallen, we strike. Take no prisoners."
An AT-AT Barge lands near by. 3 AT-ATs, 5 AT-STs, a squadron of speeders and Magnus' personal Sith Speeder. Things were looking grim for the Ship Yard.
"We attack once the wall has fallen!"

"Commander dispatch the tie fighters and interceptors to deal with those vipers that are on Magnu's tail and then attack that western wall with the main batterys but do not destroy anything else"
"But General the battery's arent that precise they could go anywhere"
The commander replied"
"In that case send all the Tie bombers we have and get that wall down"
"Yes ma'am"
"The bomber headed towards the surface while a vicious starfighter combt was occuring all around"

The Vipers were being picked off easily by the superior fire power from the Star Destroyers and Tie Fighters. The shipyard sent out two squadrons of X-wings the intercept the Tie Bombers.
Two squadrons of Rodian and Wee Quay mercs were sent towards Magnus and his warriors.

"Move those AT-Ats into position. Cut them off at the pass." screamed Magnus.
The AT-ATs moved where directed. One of squadrons captains came up to Magnus.
"M'Lord. Should we not attack their walls. We have enough fire power here to take the walls down. Sir." The captain bowed and waited for a reply.
Magnus looked at him and smiled.
"Because the walls are too thick! We need just one of the Star Destroys to hit the western wall and we will be in. But for you, nothing!"
Magnus force choked the captain right there. The AT-ATs fired at the approaching mercs.
