System Manual:Dar'Telis I

DarTelis I, also known as Tyrannus, is the lone planet of the Dar'Telis System.

All attempts to study this planet have been met by the capturing of Imperial satellites, probes and patrol craft. It appears the inhabitants themselves have a total fascination with new technology and a total disregard for human (i.e. non-Tyrranian) life. What is presented below is collated from reports from a handful of smugglers and freighters that have entered and returned from Tyrranus. It should be noted that this information should be regarded as suspect since it is derived from rumor and not official Imperial Survey Corps communications.

Around 4 ABY, pne lone and desperate smuggler by the name of Serris Kal made a reportedly profitable run into the Dar'Telis System. His light freighter, the Princess Bee, a light and moderately well-equipped hyperspace craft, was reported as leaving Eden with a full load of stolen Imperial parts, equipment and exotic metals, and returning some 3 months later badly damaged... apparently the result of a quick exit from the Tyrannus homeworld. Serris Kal supposedly had Credits to burn as he made hasty repairs on his ship at Eden, spent thousands in the gambling dens then left the next morning in a big hurry. The freightsmen in Eden recently told Imperial Intelligence that Serris Kal only had a burning desire to leave the Minos Cluster never to return. He had been seen prior to departure uttering something about "horrible machines and a 'megalopolis of steel'.

Another Ithorian Freighter going by the name of Immaaa Herdship 4 reportedly makes regular runs to the Dar'Telis System with frequent stops in the Yridia System as well as Lyccos. To date, Imperial Intelligence has been unable to locate the elusive Ithorian freighter. However, Intel suspects that the Ithorians may have some vested and as yet unknown interest in the Tyrranians.

Several Huttese crimelords and princes based on Lyccos have also reportedly made several somewhat profitable runs of technology and equipment to Dar'Telis. However, most of the major Hutt Lords seem a bit squeamish when the subject is brought up in conversation. Any such trades or secret dealings remain behind closed doors on Lyccos II.
