Legend

originally part of the Revkinn System, this Outer Rim world was a once a prosperous mining colony. Despite its arid bioshpere, radioactive elements and rare gemstones were found in abundance under the low mountains. After the advent of the New Order, the planet was placed in the center of an ongoing series of raids by Alliance personnel who hoped to take the planet and finance their war efforts. However, the mines fell into disrepair, and the planet's economy sagged. Shortly after the Alliance began its raids, pirates and smugglers started making their bases on the planet, further dragging its economy and reputation down. The average day on this temperate desert planet lasts 22 standard hours, and its year encompasses 342 local days.
