- "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[3] 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[1] a type I atmosphere[2] breathable to humans.[1]
Around 0 ABY,[4] following an encounter with Imperial Captain Magna Tolvan at the space-based fortress known as the Citadel of Rur, the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra took Tolvan 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.[3]
