Denova

Denova was a planet in the Ojoster sector that consisted mostly of woods and high peaked mountains. Ancient ruins were noted to be present on the surface though details on them were largely undocumented. It was discovered during the Cold War by the Galactic Republic, who first scouted the world. This led to the discovery of extensive deposits of the ore known as baradium. In order to control this resource, the Republic hired a mercenary army due to manpower shortages in the Republic Military.

Thus, a Trandoshan group known as the Warstalkers, led by the veteran Kephess, was hired to prevent the world, and the ores, from falling into the hands of the Sith Empire. However, the mercenaries went rogue and formed an alliance with renegade forces within the Imperial Army.
