Prazhi
Prazhi was an Expansion Region planet located in the Cyrillian Protectorate. It was the homeworld of the Zexx species. A member of the galactic community since at least 5000 BBY, a millennium later Prazhi was situated on an important hyperspace trade route. By the time of the Galactic Empire's reign, Prazhi had become a trade world the economy of which was revitalized by Imperial efforts to resettle the Expansion Region.
Description
Prazhi was a terrestrial planet[3] located in the Prazhi system, a part of the Cyrillian Protectorate[1] in the Slice portion of[2] the Expansion Region.[1] Between 5000 BBY and 3996 BBY, Prazhi was situated on a[2] commercially important[3] hyperlane that connected it to the Circarpous and Cyrillia systems, but that hyperspace route had ceased to exist by 3976 BBY.[2]
History
By 5000 BBY, Prazhi had become a part of the area of space widely explored by the Galactic Republic and referred to as the "civilized galaxy."[2] Prazhi eventually became a trade world, and although it had suffered from an economic decline by the time of the reign of the Galactic Empire, Imperial efforts to resettle the Expansion Region resulted in a positive effect upon Prazhi's economy.[4]
Inhabitants
Prazhi was the homeworld of the sentient Zexx species, members of which organized themselves into tribes before the incorporation of the planet into the wider galactic community. Eventually, many Zexx worked at the starship docking areas established on the planet. while many others of the species became employed aboard off-world ships.[3]
Locations
By 4000 BBY,[5] several docking areas with cantinas, refueling stations, and repair shops were established on Prazhi.[3]
Behind the scenes
Prazhi was first mentioned in the 1996 roleplaying game sourcebook Tales of the Jedi Companion, written by George R. Strayton and published by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Prazhi system, and therefore the planet Prazhi, in grid square O-12.[2]
