That strategic status determined Parn Minor's extremely high level of defense! During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic had installed weather controllers here to generate the artificial atmosphere. When necessary, those weather controllers could use picometer-scale mechanical particles dispersed throughout the atmosphere to artificially alter it.

If Fondor Planet's invincible defenses relied on the planet's terrifying industrial output, then Parn Minor was a Super Fortress built through the sheer expenditure of
