Aeten II
Back to List
Aeten II was a planet in the Outer Rim. The planet was known primarily for it's stygium crystals, which could be used to create Cloaking Devices or as Lightsaber crystals which gave a Jedi increased stealth and dexterity.
During the Clone Wars, Aeten II was the site of the month-long Battle of Dreighton. Both the Galactic Republic, aided by the Pendarran Warriors and the Confederacy of Independent Systems wished to capture this planet so that they could field an invisible advantage, but they all were foiled, when Hutt and Black Sun forces entered the system and destroyed the remainders of all three fleets. It is believed that the Nebula itself eventually annihilated all combatants.
During the Galactic Civil War, after the destruction of the first Death Star, Grand Admiral Martio Batch wishing to recreate cloaking devices like the one used in the Sith Infiltrator, brought the Tarkin to Aeten II, where the Stygium mines had dried up. The Admiral then used the Tarkin to destroy the planet and used the large supply of previously unreachable crystals to forward the Phantom TIE project. It was in orbit of the ruins of Aeten II that the Super Star Destroyer Terror, under Admiral Sarn, protected the crystal supply.
