Imperial Zoological Gardens

The Imperial Zoological Gardens were a facility located on Kailor V, a planet in the Arrowhead portion of the Core Worlds. Established on the authority of Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire, they featured a beautiful display of fauna and flora from across the galaxy. The facility included various aquaria, with members of the Sedrian Shahlik family being charged with their maintenance. When the Empire surveyed the Outer Rim Territories planet Najarka years before the Battle of Yavin, it collected samples of the world's plants and creatures, which were subsequently made available for study at the Imperial Zoological Gardens—a fact that was noted in a publicly accessible Imperial Survey Corps planetary report.
