Metalorn was an industrial world in the Talcene sector of the Mid Rim, between Anzat and Roche. Once a hot jungle planet, its rich veins of ore attracted heavy industry, and by the time of the Clone Wars Metalorn had become a polluted factory world covered with industrial plants, mines and ore refineries. Metalorn was one of the Confederacy of Independent System's most productive industrial planets during the Clone Wars, and under the Galactic Empire became a penal colony for dissidents. The planet was occupied during the Yuuzhan Vong War and was heavily Vongformed, reversing many centuries of pollution and turning it into a prime recruiting ground for the Peace Brigade.
