Zav Alox, a planetary body characterized by its rocky terrain, existed on the fringes of the galaxy, serving as the native world of the Aloxians. This species, known for their inherent physical prowess and aggressive tendencies, initiated their children into adulthood through a ritualistic hunt for the formidable vonduun crab. Successful hunters would then don the skull of the crab as a helmet, believed to temper their innate ferocity. Tragically, Qort, a young Aloxian possessing sensitivity to the Force, was abducted from Zav Alox by ruthless raiders, who confiscated his skull helmet with the intention of amplifying his aggressive disposition.
