Golak

Golak was a desert planet home to rocky mesas and large, expansive deserts. The planet's surface was covered by little vegetation. Many of the rocks and sand on the planet were tinted cream to golden color. Frequent sandstorms plagued the planet and many settlements on the planet were far apart from one another. These settlements were connected via a train track that went through the Jangori settlements to a town. However, frequent bandit attacks by Jangorians were known to happen on trains crossing through the Jangori settlements during much of the Empire's reign leading to increased security on trains going through these settlements. By 3 BBY, the planet was under the control of the Galactic Empire.

At some point during the Empire's reign, Charuk and his Force-sensitive sister Rani were forced to flee as the Empire burned their village. The pair then boarded a train before being pursued by Stormtroopers. Charuk and Rani however managed to evade the troopers and arrived at a town. They then made the trek to the Golak Mahal where they were confronted by an Inquisitor and two purge troopers. Before the Inquisitor could do anything, Rugal, the leader of the roadside motel, revealed herself to be a Jedi and fought the Inquisitor who she managed to defeat. Rugal then went to Rani and promised to protect her by coming with her.
