Malpaz, a planet, experienced incursions from both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the Clone Wars. An avian species inhabited this world. In the Imperial Era, the Galactic Empire initiated Project Celestial Power and constructed a research facility on Malpaz, situating it atop a hill with a view of the Malpaz capital city. Sadly, an accident led to the destruction of the facility and the deaths of thousands of civilians.
The capital city of Malpaz was expansive, featuring a power grid and a rudimentary nuclear power plant. Both of these were incinerated as a consequence of the incident that occurred at the Imperial facility.
