Kalarassi Five existed as a celestial body within the galaxy. In the time of the Imperial Era, a number of prisoners located on Kalarassi Five managed to escape their [prison](/article/prison]. Several bounty hunters, with IG-88 among them, traveled there to look into the situation, but the escaped prisoners fooled them into a search of the slums by using disguises consisting of stormtrooper armor.
