Verkuyl, where the cultivation of alazhi took place, existed as a planet situated in the Outer Rim Territories' Verkuyl system.
Corlin Quarle Deld, who established Verkuylian BactaCo, purchased this planet, and his employees were bound by decade-long work agreements. The location of the company's main office was the Dalos Peninsula. Under Governor Parco Ein, the Galactic Empire nationalized the company, aided by Corlin's descendant, Daven Quarle. During 3 ABY, GalFactorial made an offer to construct a bacta processing plant on the world. Even with the prior disloyalty of New Republic Intelligence operatives Claris, Major Cobb Vartos, and Selby Jarrad orchestrated by Daven, the New Republic fleet freed the planet.
