History and Lifeforms
Much of the planet’s history is unknown. A few of the ruined structures date back several millennia in approximation, however the civilization which built these is unknown. It is speculated that they may have been Sith or an deviant offshoot given the nature of the architecture that remains. The planet currently has no sentient indigenous sentient population. It does have a dense population of wildlife however. Much of the planet's flora and fauna are hostile and predatory. Dianoga, Hawk Bats, Ash Angels, Gharzr, Rancors, and Divto are all known to exist here. A small population of wild Hssiss has also been bred around Usharak Keep.
Climate and Geology
Extensive tectonic activity combined with lush rainfall keeps the verdant jungles teeming with life forms. Most soils are lateritic and deeply weathered. Many clay resources exist, but hard rock is scarce and only found at great depths or in areas wracked by earthquakes and volcanism. Mineral resources in general are present but rare. Sulfur and halides are abundant near the volcanic areas, making for a tropical moonscape of boiling mud-pots and fumaroles coated in yellow sulfur.
