Halanit was an ichthyoculture moon colonized around 20 BBY. The moon orbited a large gas giant, and was covered with a thick ice crust, but beneath it crust the inner heat of the moon's core created pockets of breathable atmosphere. The primary settlement was just below the ice, in a fissure that was covered by a double-paneled transparisteel dome. It was insignificant world for Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic with very low population just over 10.000 people.
