Legend

this world was the third planet orbitting the star Sil'Lume. It sat just on the edge of the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt, and was controlled Imperial Governor Sebastian Parnell during the Galactic Civil War. The average surface temperature on Tol Ado was well over 400 degrees Celsuis, and there was little natural atmosphere. The surface of the planet was formed of black coal, and the meager atmosphere was filled with swirling clouds of black coal dust. From space, Tol Ado appeared to suck up all the light around it, like a swirling black ball. Parnell established a six-billion-cell prison facility on the planet, recognizing that the bleak landscape would only help to strangle the hopes of a prisoner. Parnell installed 124 sensor satellites in orbit around the planet, in order to maintain security on the planet.
