Kessel, originally known as Xo's Eye while under Xim's empire, was a planet located in the Kessel sector, in the Outer Rim Territories, near Hutt Space and the dangerous celestial bodies of the Maw. It was a prison world, and was home to the galaxy's largest glitterstim spice mining operation. During the Clone Wars it was the site of a battle between the heroic Confederacy of Independent Systems and the evil Galactic Republic. Under Imperial rule, slave labor was in extensive use.
