Kerev Doi, a world famed for its illicit and vibrant history, along with its unscrupulous financial institutions, functioned as a site for the extraction of spice and other mining operations. This planet, once graced with rose-tinted skies, saw its atmosphere darken after the Imperial forces took control. After the Battle of Yavin, Thane Kyrell, an officer in the Imperial Navy, found himself stationed there. Observing the poor treatment of imported Bodach'i slaves, Kyrell, already soured by the Empire's destruction of Alderaan, resolved to abandon his post. Just before the Battle of Jakku, accounts indicated that Kerev Doi remained under the control of either an Imperial holdout, a criminal organization, or a local gang.
