Retsinis VIII was the eighth planet of Retsinis in the Retsinis system which was located in the Sith Space sector of the Outer Rim. The world was a gloomy and depressing place with all life destroyed on it by a cataclysmic natural disaster. The sky was scorched after the debris continuously swirling in the planets jet stream blocked out the sunlight for a long period of time before clearing and revealing a scarred red sky. Some time afterward, settlers arrived and the planet became little more than a barren and lifeless stop-off point for those traveling to the Horuset system.
