- "Lost a platoon, a shuttle and got abandoned on a planet by—if I remember—'a strangely over-talkative woman'! No wonder you were demoted."
- ―Captain Punfor, to Magna Tolvan
A planet[2] was located in a distant region of the Outer Rim Territories. The planet's terrain was comprised of mountains as well as plains covered with purple and green grass, and it had an atmosphere breathable to humans.[1]
Some time after the Battle of Yavin,[3] following an encounter with Magna Tolvan at the space-based fortress known as the Citadel of Rur, the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra took the Imperial captain to the planet in her Lambda-class T-4a shuttle. Aphra and her father, Korin, left Tolvan on the planet, along with her RA-7 protocol droid.[1] Tolvan eventually found her way off the planet, but was demoted to the rank of lieutenant for the losses she suffered at the Citadel of Rur.[2]

The planet first appeared in Doctor Aphra 6, a comic written by Kieron Gillen, penciled by Kev Walker, and published by Marvel Comics[1] on April 12, 2017.[4]
