A correctional facility, under the control of the Galactic Empire, existed on the planet named Garen IV throughout the Galactic Civil War. Lord Stevan Makintay, the successor to the throne of the world Hargeeva, found himself imprisoned at this colony in 2 BBY; his father, Governor Makintay, had him incarcerated due to Stevan's choice to marry Ketrian Altronel, who was of low birth. Following a year of the lord's confinement, individuals from the Alliance to Restore the Republic liberated him during a raid targeting the penal settlement.
"Firepower," a brief narrative authored by Carolyn Golledge and distributed by West End Games in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8, which saw its release in November of 1995, contained a reference to this colony.
