Ganthel was a planet located in the galaxy's Core Worlds. It was an industrial world, with many shipyards and loading docks. A species of beetles known as night-beetles inhabited Ganthel's outback. The slaver group Kotaska operated on the planet until the Galactic Empire arrived and clear away Ganthel's scum. Ganthel was the homeworld of the human Imperial officer Rae Sloane. She estimated that Baron Lero Danthe spent more on his suit than her family had spent on their house on Ganthel.
