Apatros was the only colony on the Outer Rim mining world of the same name. The colony was controlled by the Outer Rim Oreworks Company, which mined cortosis on the planet, and was used to house miners. The colony only contained two unique buildings—the ORO Market and Groshik's cantina. Apatros was the home of a miner named Dessel, who would eventually become the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Bane.
