Stic was a barren planet in the Xappyh sector, on the Outer Rim of the galaxy. It was subject to severe climate changes. It was the homeworld of the highly variable insectoid Xi'Dec species. Because of the planet's rapidly changing environment, the Xi'Dec were forced to evolve into hundreds of forms to survive, each form becoming a new sex of Xi'Dec. During the Galactic Civil War, it was going through an unusually hot period in its climatological cycle. Despite this, it received a steady stream of tourists arriving to observe the wide variety of Xi'Dec forms.
