| [[Category: Dark Crusade Nfolgai]] | | Nfolgai was an arid world tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. The primary planet of the Nfolgai system in the Esstran Sector, Nfolgai was an important site for the Sith in ancient times as they used it to construct a variety of tombs and mausoleums. Due to the nature of the planet, only it's southern hemisphere was exposed to the local star, thus creating less than desirable conditions. |
