"Primitive planet?" Gideon Tarkin frowned and walked over to examine the intelligence data that had been pulled up.
The report showed that Kubindi was a relatively primitive planet. Because it orbited a blue giant star, stellar flares had an enormous impact on the planet. Electronic equipment on Kubindi generally could not survive more than a week in the face of such flares.

The Intelligence Department official beside him looked at the report, his expression turning ugly as well. Still, he offered an explanation. "Kubindi is rated as having the lowest strategic value in the Intelligence Department database, so they probably would not have taken the initiative
