Nushk is found in the Hoth system of the Javin sector. It is a temperate planet, home to lots of wildlife, found generally in the jungles and the forests. This planet also has a large river running right through the main continent. This planet also has large amounts of glaciers as well as massive volcanic ranges. The original pioneer colony had just two cities, both owned by Cloud City.

In the south and north are two large ice caps. These Ice caps have been growing lately, as a result of global cooling. Slowly, the planet is drifting farther and farther away from the sun. It is expected that in about two thousand years the planet will completely leave orbit, however, this could be a result of bad calculations. As the planet moves farther away from the sun, the temperature slowly cools, causing the ice caps to grow over a period of the last thousand years.

The river on this planet is home to abundant wildlife. The Besii river is freshwater and is filled with many types of aquatic creatures. The fish are so beautiful that often they are taken away and used as pets on worlds such as Coruscant and Kuat. These fish are generally vibrant in colors, the river being filled with some of the easiest freshwater fish to keep in the galaxy. TThe river offers few aquatic predators, allowing the fish to live quite well except during breeding season. During the breeding season many of these fish return to where they hatched, where often they find a large host of predators waiting for them.

Some of the predators include the Calilaian Wolf, a large four-legged creature that has brown and black fur, a long snout, and pointy ears. It is able to swim quite well and can usually eat quite a few fish in a very short period of time. There is also the Javinian Bear, which is a large beast that often manages to eat these beautiful fish as well.

In the jungle to the south, the wildlife is quite extraordinary. In fact, it is believed that only about 1% of the species have been discovered. Some of them include the Calilaian Nerf, the Nushkian Parrot, and of course the Hothan Mustang.

The forests are not quite as diverse as the jungles. However, they do have many types of trees, some as tall as a frigate is long, while others are much smaller, only about 10 meters height. The wildlife includes many dangerous predators, such as the bears and wolves mentioned above.

The cities are nothing special. Many were founded recently when it was discovered that there might be mineral deposits deep within the surface. They are spread evenly across the surface and drive the planet's economy.
