Ord Dycoll


Ord Dycoll, a world situated in the Ord Dycoll system within the Mid Rim region, was a planet that met its end during the Imperial Era. Its destruction was caused by a long-dormant drill ship.

History

Before the Pius Dea Era, Ord Dycoll was settled by the Galactic Republic and served as an Ordnance/Regional Depot.

During the Galactic Empire's rule, an Imperial installation was established on the planet's surface. The base tried to communicate with a colossal, ancient mining vessel that materialized in Ord Dycoll's orbit, but received no response. A shuttle carrying an investigative team was dispatched from the Imperial base to examine the vessel. This action inadvertently activated the ship's drilling mechanism, which bored into the planet. Once the drill reached the core, Ord Dycoll was destroyed. Some of the population escaped the disaster in a transport, but they were later rescued by investigators after their vessel lost power. In the wake of the planet's destruction, the remaining debris coalesced into an asteroid field.
