Talravin I is a barren, poisonous rock with very little purpose in the galaxy. The world was initially surveyed thousands of years ago and hardly any attention has been paid to the planet since. Nearly the entire surface of the planet is covered in glaciers formed when the planetary ozone layer unexplainably thickened, drastically lowering the planetary temperature.

The ice that the glaciers are comprised of contains a chemical that is fatal to human and near-human species when inhaled in its gaseous form. As such, some of the historically less-scrupulous arms dealers have occasionally visited Talravin I to mine the ice for use in biological weapons.
