Delrakkin was the only planet in the Delrakkin system capable of sustaining life. Home to the reptilian Delrakkin, the world was covered with mountain ranges and jungles, as well as a perpetual cloud cover that provided it with incessant storms and rain. Delrakkin City was the only civilized location on the planet and was home to the Delrakkin, until the Galactic Empire invaded.

The Imperials expelled the Delrakkin from their city and populated it with their own citizens. In 0 ABY, the planet nearly became the subject of an Imperial experiment devised by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Tarkin intended to use the planet as a test bed for new interdictor technology, which was to be developed in the utmost secrecy. To that end, he ordered Admiral Termo to eradicate the planet's populace, but the scheme was foiled by the Rebel Alliance.
