Alsakan was an astronomical object located in the galaxy's Core Worlds, in grid square L-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid, on the Perlemian Trade Route.[1] It was the homeworld of both Doctor Cornelius Evazan[5] and Allegiant General Enric Pryde.[4]
One of the greatest supporters of the Galactic Empire,[6] Alsakan was also home to an Imperial Academy[6] attended by Pryde.[4] At some point between 19 BBY and 9 BBY, the Inquisitor Third Sister hunted Force-sensitive individuals on Alsakan.[3] Alsakan culture included military riding traditions, which made use of swaggersticks.[4] It shared its name with the Alsakan Conflicts.[7]
