Morlana One

Morlana One, or just Morlana, was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories' Free Trade sector. The principal world of the Morlani system, it featured lowlands and oceans with coastal industrial cities. The Consolidated Holdings of Preox-Morlana Corporation operated out of Morlana One and governed the Free Trade sector, acting as an extension of surveillance for the Galactic Empire. In 5 BBY, the thief Cassian Andor visited a brothel in Morlana One's Leisure Zone to investigate a lead on a Kenari girl he believed could potentially be his sister. He was harassed by two sentry guards from the Pre-Mor Authority Security Forces, leading to a fight in which the guards were killed.

The deaths were investigated by Deputy Inspector Syril Karn of the Pre-Mor Security Inspection team, although he was ordered by Chief Inspector Hyne to leave the case and forge a story that made the Pre-Mor forces look better. Despite those orders, Karn traced the deaths to Andor on the neighboring planet Ferrix. Karn's attempts to arrest Andor on Ferrix led to the deaths of four Pre-Mor corpos and a civilian, prompting the Empire to step in and take permanent authority over the Morlani system. Most staff in Preox-Morlana were removed, save for a handful that helped with the transitions of power.
