Krake's Planet, situated in the Demetras sector of the Outer Rim's, was a planet that housed the Imperial Krake Data Vault during the era of the Galactic Civil War. This diminutive, stone-covered world was inhabited by a species of sizable slugs, creatures that fashioned intricate, winding passageways throughout the planet's terrain. The Krake Data Vault was constructed from a unique crystal casing, a cocoon-like structure generated by these slugs. The Imperial military then modified it to manage the slugs' locomotion and to safeguard the principal personnel files. During 3 ABY, Rebel protagonists Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca journeyed to Krake's Planet to obtain intelligence about the Imperial mole Shira Brie, an endeavor that culminated in the vault's obliteration.
The initial appearance of Krake's Planet was in Star Wars (1977) 63, a comic penned by David Michelinie and Walt Simonson, with artwork by Tom Palmer, which was published in 1982.
