Exocron was a planet in the Kathol Outback, hidden in a protostar gas cloud near the Kathol Rift. It was settled by colonists who were opposed to the "plastic societies" of the Galactic Republic, and who were searching for a legendary planet called Exo. The colony grew in isolation from the rest of the galaxy, controlled by a technocracy known as the Devisors who forbade space travel. Their rule lasted until 8 ABY when the New Republic corvette FarStar assisted the local population in freeing themselves from the oppressive regime. At some point, the smuggler Jorj Car'das retired on the planet.
