Points of Interest

 * Krake Data Vault: The Krake Data Vault, also called Krake's vault, was the informal name attributed to an unorthodox Imperial data processing center on the world known only as Krake's Planet. The vault itself was a biological entity commonly referred to as a Mind Spider, but had more in common with a space slug than it did with any of the various arachnid species populating the galaxy. The exterior of the vault complex was grown from the mass of one of these Mind Spiders during its larval stage and shaped by Imperial engineers using sonic vibrations to control the slug's growth cycle. They constructed (grew) the vault on the precipice of a large ravine and safeguarded it by way of an impregnable energy field. The crystalline support struts keeping the vault secured within the ravine were actually the legs of the slug-like creature. The interior of the vault however, resembled a standard Imperial military facility and boasted a full compliment of officers, staff and guards.
