Capsule Garqui is a very aveage, very unimportant agricultural world which supplies foodstuffs to its neighbor, Garos IV in one of the last remaining Imperial systems outside of the Core. The colony is officially ruled by an Imperial Governor, but Governor Tadrin is seldom there. He entrusts the planet to the military prefect, while he attends to business (or more than likely is mourning the downfall of the Empire) on some Core World resort.

Capsule Garos IV is the fourth planet of six in the Garos System. It was settled by humans more than 4000 years ago. And until recently it was a self-supporting planet with little contact outside the system.

The seat of government is located in Ariana on the western coast, known for its forboding Tahika Cliffs, on the larger of the two continents. Ariana is an intellectual and business center, dominated by the prestigious University of Garos.

But the Empire had generally left Garos IV alone since establishing a quiet presence on the planet 16 years ago. Only in the last few years has the number of Imperial Troops begun to grow. Their chief concern seems to be the mining of hybridium in a region south of the city of Ariana. only a few fleet captains, and of course High Inquisitor Tremayne and the mysterious Lord Brandl, under direct orders from the late Emperor Palpatine, seem to understand the significance of the Empire's presence on Garos IV. Aside from the tactical importance of being the last Imperial system outside the Core, it is obvious to the underground that the Imperials intend to exploit whatever knowledge they can acquire on the cloaking properties of the ore which comes from the mines.

Capsule Captain Barker has been the head of the Night Storm Pirates for roughly three years now, and in that time he has become a menace which the Imperials will be glad to be rid of. His raids have slowed their progress in the Garos system, and he always is one step ahead of Imperial authorities, a fact which continues to chagrin what is left of the Empire in this sector. Captain Barker is said to be a former member of Talon Karrde's organization and has often been seen purchasing information from Karrde himself.
