Grizal

Grizal is a forested planetoid located in a remote part of the galaxy, within the territories of the Mid Rim. Its small size and distance from busy routes made it unattractive for colonization, but convenient for those seeking refuge far from the authorities.

On the planetoid's surface stood an abandoned prison complex. In the High Republic era, it was taken over by the Nihil, an organization of raiders and pirates that operated on the frontier and opposed the Republic and the Jedi Order. The existing buildings of the former prison were turned into a camp that served the raiders as their main base of operations.

Grizal thus became one of the Nihil's key strongholds during this period: the organization's forces were directed from here, and the planetoid itself acquired an importance out of all proportion to its modest natural features. The information about Grizal preserved in the sources is limited mainly to its nature, location, and role as a raider base.
