"Your would-be husband spent a year in a penal colony on Garen IV after he was kidnapped and dumped there with a false ID."
―Altronel learns of Makintay's time in the colony from Rebels[1]

A penal colony belonging to the Galactic Empire was located on the planet Garen IV during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 2 BBY,[2] the heir to the throne of the planet Hargeeva, Lord Stevan Makintay, was imprisoned in the colony by his father, Governor Makintay, for deciding to marry the lowborn Ketrian Altronel. A year after the lord's incarceration, he was freed during a raid on the colony by members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[1]

Behind the scenes

The colony was mentioned in "Firepower," a short story written by Carolyn Golledge and published by West End Games in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8, which was released in November 1995.[1]
