History
Edit
During the Clone Wars, the Separatist Alliance set up a research center on Fest, developing the phrik supermetal. It was raided and destroyed by Omega Squad ten months into the war.[2]
The planet was ravaged both by a civil war among its inhabitants and a war against Mantooine. The Festians were rebellious to the Galactic Empire and knew that it was about to attack Mantooine, but the distrust for each other, coupled with a lack of communications facilities, prevented them from giving warning. Ultimately, however, the two planets found common cause in their conflict with the Empire, and their combined resistance forces formed the Atrivis Resistance Group.[3]

During his investigation on the dark trooper project, an Imperial droid development program, mercenary Kyle Katarn, working in favor of the Rebel Alliance, infiltrated an Imperial base where phrik alloys were tested, in order to be used for the strong lightweight armor of the dark troopers. The discovery of such a sample led Kyle and his partner Jan Ors to the Blood Moon of Gromas.[4]
The planet was also the site of an Imperial weapons research facility under the administration of Moff Kohl Seerdon. The facility was attacked by Rogue Squadron, an elite Rebel Alliance starfighter unit under the command of Luke Skywalker, and the Rebellion made off with several Imperial All Terrain Personal Transport walkers liberated by Rebel commandos.[5]
