Barkhesh was a planet located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was the homeworld of Antidar Williams.
[edit] History
Barkhesh resisted the New Order and supported the Rebel Alliance. They supplied the Alliance with vital materials after the Battle of Yavin despite Imperial retaliation. On the planet was sold an indigenous microbe-based Barkhesh Insect Culture which was deadly to insects and used as bug repellent by scouts. New Republic environmentalists decried the Culture.
In 0 ABY, Rogue Squadron provided aerial cover for a small supply convoy on the planet's surface, which was moving to supply a Rebel pick-up shuttle. Unfortunately, the Empire caught wind of the operation, and sent a reasonably large force of AT-ST walkers and TIE/sa bombers to intercept the convoy of transports. Rogue Squadron successfully protected the convoy, destroying a large portion of the forces.
