History

A failed-core planet, Kih is a remnant of the obliterated Antares System that has since merged with Antei. It has slowly cooled over the past 3 billion years to become one of the coldest planets in the system. It is known to have never possessed an indigenous sentient population.

Barren and virtually inhospitable to Humanoid life, the remote planet is believed to be the site of an ancient battleground of the Great Sith War some 4,000 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. To date, nothing remains on the surface to mark this event and some scholars maintain the idea is legend only.

Records recovered from Coruscant suggest that at the close of the war, a Jedi strike force was dispatched to Kih in order to recover the ancient Jedi Master, Shayoto. He had been taken prisoner by a cult of Sith who had stumbled upon Kih seeking temporary refuge as the war turned against them. Believed to be killed at the attack on the Jedi Conclave on Deneba, it was later learned he had been abducted by Sith agents and disappeared.

Following a Sith supply ship bound for Kih to relieve the small band holed up on its forbidding surface, a force of seven Jedi Knights, whose names are now lost to us, attacked the force defeating all but one of the Sith Warriors that stood between them and their captive Master. So potent and adept in the Sith Arts of Battle, this lone Warrior fought the Jedi band to a stalemate forcing their retreat. Since come to be known as The Stand at Kih, the lopsided battle has come to be the standard by which true warriors of the Sith traditions measure themselves.

No formal archeological expedition has been launched to investigate Kih, but rumors persist that beneath the frozen surface, caverns exist that were used by the Sith as shelter from the harsh climate.


Geography

Morvia

A vast expanse of ridged tundra blown clean by eons of wind erosion, Morvia is the largest continent among the ice flows of Kih. Situated at the equator, this landmass is often referred to as the “Serpent’s Back” for its undulating terrain resembling the slithering of a snake.


Clentia

The northern pole of the planet, Clentia is fragmented and shows signs of disintegrating into the surrounding glacial flows. Some spacers talk of the legend involving the Sith Warrior who died in Anger Lake and that the continent’s continued disintegration is a result of his mighty death throes far below the icy surface.


Aspargo

Aspargo is the coldest region of the ice planet. Located at the southern pole, it is also the smallest continent. Temperatures rarely climb above -100 °C making it one of the harshest climates not only on Kih, but anywhere in the system.


Landmarks

Anger Lake

Located on the continent of Clentia, Anger Lake is rumored to be the site of the death of the unnamed Sith Warrior, who single-handedly held off the Jedi rescue force sent to retrieve their captive comrade. Legend tells us that the Warrior, refusing to give up his charge even after the war’s end, dragged the shackled prisoner to the largest lake on the planet’s surface and threw the Master into the freezing waters.

Unable to turn away from the death throes of the ancient Jedi, the Warrior was shocked to see his own lightsaber rise from his belt and burn its way through the ice at his feet, pitching the armor-clad Sith into the frozen waters at the lake’s edge. So outraged at the Jedi’s trickery, the Warrior thrashed mightily unable to break free of the water’s icy grip until exhausted, he ceased. He and his gleaming crimson armor sank to the dark bottom forever entombed in blackness.


Sin Barrens

The wastelands of Morvia have earned the name Sin Barrens after their unforgiving and deadly nature. Any who tread them do so carefully out of respect for their many hazardous features. Chief among these are the razor-sharp ice ridges that adorn the surface. Several meters deep, these naturally occurring erosion channels form an organic radiator-like structure whose edges can cut a Humanoid in half with one misstep.


Moons

Eroka

Eroka is Kih’s only moon orbiting the planet at a distance of 275, 400 km. The moon measures a scant 2,200 km in diameter, is devoid of life, and completely exposed to vacuum. Its metallic composition has shown evidence of semi-precious minerals throughout the crust and may be prime for a future mining operation.


Military

Once garrisoned by a contingent of Sith Warriors several thousand years ago, the planet’s swirling frigid winds have long since erased any trace of their presence.
