The Pitann System is made up of the Pitann sun and the planet Pitann. A class-G yellow star, the Pitann sun is a young star in most respects, estimated to be about 3.5 million years old. It has average mass and radius for a class-G star but owes its spectacular appearance to the fact that it burns about 750 degrees hotter than an average class-G star. This suggests that the star will burn out in about 45 million years.

The planet Pitann is a small planet that rotates close to its sun, ensuring a hot climate throughout its orbital period. The planet's populace are primarily miners, drifters, and others trying to avoid legal entanglements. Natives develop muscular bodies and squat frames to cope with Pitann's high gravity and often regard themselves as naturally stronger than off-worlders.

The system's primary exports are minerals, gases, and droids. The latter are mostly gladiator droids, popular in large sporting events throughout the Kathol sector. These locally produced goods are traded primarily to the government or to the nearby systems Kathol and Jangelle. Pitann has few other trade partners due to its isolated position in the Kathol outback, near the Marcol Void and the collection of young suns and nebulous gas clouds known as the Kathol Rift.
