Having risen far from its origins as a penal colony, Despayre has become the jewel of the Horuz system. Due to its history as a penal colony, it is a popular destination for bounty hunters. The city of Bountiville contains several bounty brokers who take convicts to the nearby Slashtown Prison Colony.

The planet has two major landmasses separated by an ocean. The larger landmass in the north of the planet consists mainly of jungles and forests, with the exception of a small region of volcanic activity as well as an arid region where mining operations have stripped away the lush jungle. The smaller landmass, a continent in the south that is forty percent the size of the northern continent, consists almost entirely of mangrove swamps due to being barely above sea level. This is compounded by the world’s 0.75 standard gravity and the large neighboring moon, Haroon, exhibiting tidal pressures.

In addition to bounty hunters, the untamed wilds are a popular destination for hunters of a different sort who seek to test their skills against Acklay, Dianoga, Rancors, and even the occasional Rathtar. Tourist hunting is popular but also dangerous, as the planet has a large number of bandits due to escaped convicts hiding out in the wilds.
