Brolsam was a planet within the system of the same name in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. An agriworld, it was located on a branch off the Trition Trade Route, between the sector capital Kal'Shebbol and Torize. Although its distance from the sector's major trade route hampered its economic growth, Brolsam developed an industry based primarily around agriculture due to the presence of a significant community of Fefze swarms. The planet also gained a reputation as an artist's retreat. In 8 ABY, the planet was on the brink of civil war following the disintegration of Imperial authority in the sector after the liberation of Kal'Shebbol by New Republic forces.
