Near the wartorn battle lines fought over between the New Republic and the Empire, lies a casually overlooked planet named Tholatin. A husk of a rock on the outside with no discernable atmosphere, the inside is filled with life in a protected internal city named "Esau's Ridge". Ships approach the planet and land through well protected airlocks and ray shielded decks to enter the small city, which is best described as a smuggler's port of call. So overlooked, in fact, it also finds itself home to many families and businessmen that prefer to do their dealings without the added intervention of the two governments.
