Caprioril
Caprioril was a planet located near Chandrila. It was the site of the infamous Caprioril Massacre.
History
Galactic Republic era
Caprioril was a mostly tranquil world known for its swoop races. Caprioril was the site of an infamous assassin droid tragedy, in which a droid slaughtered 20,000 Humanoids and aliens at a swoop arena in a massive explosion, including famous racer, Ignar Ominaz. The droid's goal was the assassination of Governor Amel Bakli.
New Republic era
Sometime between the Battle of Endor and 9 ABY, Mara Jade briefly worked under the name Marellis as a Come-up flector for a Caprioril swoop gang.[1]
Caprioril was named a sector capital by the New Republic.[2]
During the Emperor's reappearance in 10 ABY, the planet was besieged by the Empire.[2]
Around this time, historian Arhul Hextrophon was injured while visiting the planet.[3]
