The planet of Myrkr has been only settled for nearly 300 years and lies in the Borderlands Region between the Republic and Imperial Space, and the planet was isolated and shunned by both the Old Republic and Jedi Knights. Due to these events the planet is only really known to smugglers and other shaddy buisness beings. The main reason the Jedi avoided the planet was because it is home to the tree-dwelling ysalamiri, which have evolved a defensive mechanism allowing them to push the Force from themselves. Also the high metal content of Myrkr's trees makes sensor readings unreliable, which spurred the smuggler Talon Karrde to build his chief base deep within the western part of the Great Northern Forest. This base was over run by Grand Admiral Thrawn and Talon was forced to leave it, and the only other settlment is the city of Hyllyard City.
