Druckenwell was an industrial world in the Doldur sector, on the Corellian Run. A Trade Federation world, it was loyal to the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. It was best known for a BlasTech weapons manufacturing complex that was located there, along with the Druckenwell Shipyard.

CharacteristicsEdit

An overpopulated urban world run by corporate guilds, Druckenwell's crowded cities were divided by wide oceans, and almost all of the planet's available land had been developed. As a result, great care had been taken to reduce the risk of pollution and to protect the planet's few remaining resources. Druckenwell's 9.3 billion inhabitants were mostly workers for the massive corporations on-world.

The planet's strictly planned cities had specific zones for different worker classes—blue-collar districts, business offices, industrial areas, and a handful of pleasant parks and gardens for the corporate elite. Druckenwell's strict population laws specified that no couples could marry until they could prove their fiscal independence. The capital city of Il Avali housed Happy's Landing tavern and the I'att Armament complex, where a personal shielding device to protect stormtrooper armor from blaster fire was developed. Druckenwell was also home to the corporate offices for SGI Inc., a major producer of black-market assassin droid components.

HistoryEdit

Clone WarsEdit

During the Clone Wars, Druckenwell, already a Trade Federation world, was held by the CIS as a foundry world, a status it was keen to maintain.^[3] Jedi Master Jai Maruk was from the world, and so struggled to prove his loyalty when dealing with those unaware of his Jedi status.^[3]

Imperial occupationEdit

During the Rebel Alliance's early days, Rahm Kota and Juno Eclipse cooperated in a raid on the Imperial presence on Druckenwell, one of a string of hit-and-run attacks that also took in Kuat, Selonia and Cato Neimoidia.^[4]

When Imperial Moff Eisen Kerioth tried to claim the energy shield as his own invention just prior to the Battle of Yavin, Tinian I'att (young heiress of the I'att Corporation) escaped with the shielding device components and fled Druckenwell with the help of Twilit Hearth's musical band. Tinian's lover Daye Azur-Jamin managed to destroy the I'att Armament complex and its Imperial invaders, but was almost killed in the effort. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officials nationalized SGI Systems, Incorporated along with several other droid corporations, giving them control of the Mid-Rim droid market.

Later historyEdit

The planet was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War.^[5] The populace was forced into labor camps after offering up little resistance to the invaders, and worked to grow food for them during the war while the world was terraformed.

During the Second Galactic Civil War, Galactic Alliance forces launched from Druckenwell to perform a punitive strike on Bothawui.^[1]

As of 137 ABY, Druckenwell was a member world of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.^[1]
