Criel

Criel was a volcanic planet located in Wild Space. The planet was home to a small settlement of Twi'leks who had emigrated from Ryloth. The planet would come under the control of the Galactic Empire in late 0 BBY after a small skirmish between an Imperial Scout Trooper and a group of Twi'lek men left three dead, after this the Empire cracked down hard on the planet. Scouring the planet and forcing all the Twi'lek colonists into a single city of Criel, the largest of the former Twi'lek settlements by the name of Cyto was scoured by the Empire and turned into a Military Encampment, housing a company of the 81st Battalion. Another notable Imperial area was the Criel Imperial Base, which housed another Company of the 81st.

Criel Mining Company
The Criel Mining Company was an Imperial owned Mining Venture founded and funded by Commander Alyss Lawlor to extract materials from the surface of Criel and it's four Moons, it is a subsidary of Cyto Industries. The Company employs the local Twi'lek population as miners in its various ventures across the system, and as waitresses for the Company owned Cantina in the center of Criel City. While the Company pays fair wages to the Twi'leks, they are still nothing compared to the salaries of the local Garrison troopers, or the human minebosses.
