A land of frozen wastelands and blizzards, Khorm's entire surface was covered in ice and snow, and, in spite of the extremely cold temperatures and harsh winds, a walrus-like species, the Khormai, managed to thrive there. It had a Type I atmosphere. One of its most rare and valuable resources was an ore called Agrocite that, when converted to plasma, could greatly enhance the destructive power of turbolasers. This enticed the Confederacy and Unger Gout, a Khormai warlord, to ally with each other to collect as much of the resource as possible. Because of the extensive mining done on the planet, there was a massive unnatural network of caves beneath the ice.[2] It was located in the Khorm system, in the Mid Rim.
