Saclas

Saclas was a barren Outer Rim Territories planet located in the Corporate Sector. Home to gelatinous pet slimes, it was a colony world of the sentient Ocsin species. Saclas was frequently visited both by Ocsin merchants travelling to Galactic Empire–controlled space and free-traders and smugglers making cautious trips into Corporate Sector Authority territory, and the world had a rough-and-tumble reputation. The Ocsin future member of the Zulirian Swordmasters group Cene Gilvent grew up on Saclas, where she eventually earned enough money to travel offworld.
