Lau existed as a populated planet located within the galaxy. Following their escape from an Imperial base on Wayland, Omega and Crosshair arrived on Lau, where they subsequently acquired and departed on a ship.
The planet Lau was primarily barren, characterized by its harsh, windy weather and a terrain marked by sharp cliffs and open plains. During the time of the Imperial Era, the Galactic Empire maintained a presence there, with TK stormtroopers seen patrolling the streets of its primary main settlement.
In approximately 18 BBY, Omega and [Crosshair](/article/crosshair], both clones, made an emergency landing on this world while escaping from the Advanced Science Division situated on Wayland. A skirmish took place on Lau when Imperial Captain Mann tried, without success, to apprehend Omega and Crosshair. Ultimately, the two were able to commandeer a ship and leave the planet, eventually rejoining their squad.
