Janilis VII was a remote planet in the Janilis system of the Tion Cluster. An ancient world, it had been a retreat for the nobles of the Kingdom of Cron prior to its conquest by Xer VIII. After the collapse of the Tionese empire under Xer's son Xim, it became a rundown world with a subsistence economy. It had extensive libraries dating back to Xim's time, and the Cronese were known to charge high rates to researchers seeking access to them.
