Hrill was a planet reputed to be peaceful, quiet, and dull. In 15 BBY, the merchant Mungo Baobab was assigned a mission to Hrill by the Merchant Council of his homeworld, Manda. Nevertheless, Baobab ignored the order and ventured off in search of the Roon system and its fabled Roonstones. He brought the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO with him.
