This is the first planet of the Ku`Bakai system. Dangerously close to its star, the planet many eons ago lost any atmosphere which it might have possessed. In addition, the surface over the millennia has been bombarded time and again by stellar mass-ejections from the volatile blue giant, Ku`Bakai. The core of the world has remained molten and the planet is volcanically active, being twisted as it is by the gravitation of its star. This has created a region of vulcanization upon the planet. This region of vulcanism is also the region that is tidally locked to the star. The rest of the surface of this world is barren rock, so irradiated that nothing could survive unprotected for any amount of time. In the waning days of the Old Republic, there had been plans to erect a scientific outpost on the planet to study the star more carefully. However, with that august body collapsing under its own weight, nothing came of the project.
