Dega was a planet in the Dega system of the Elrood sector. Its local day was 19 standard hours long; its year was 295 local days long. The planet was covered in rocky wastelands. It hosted a Radell Mining Corporation mining colony. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, the world's minerals and ores ran dry. The colony was abandoned, leaving behind a polluted planet. The old mines became smugglers' refuges.
