Kessel a misshapen, asteroid-shaped planet had a barren, rocky landscape. The atmosphere was very thin, with most of the air being provided by factories on the surface. Ancient tombs and ruins, possibly of Sith origin, dotted the landscape, haunted by skeletal avians. The prison had been established in these inhospitable settings. There was a single large settlement on the planet, Kessendra. Kessel is in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron as a space map.
History[]
A largely inhospitable and desolate Outer Rim world, Kessel has an abundance of profitable and unique glitterstim spice. In order to support life on Kessel, mining operations have established air-producing factories capable of creating a thin atmosphere. The mines themselves are located far below Kessel's barren surface. Prisoners are often forced to labor ceaselessly in the dark mines, where they can fall prey to energy spiders and other dangers.
