Sakavi Tar was a frozen planet that was home to the Sakavian species. The Sakavians survived on fish and other underwater animals they hunted in the vast oceans beneath the planet's frozen wastelands. The planet suffered the Great Fish Famine, and the Besalisk Wan'yek Whett recruited the Sakavian Skoova Stev to join his crew aboard the Grapnel, though Stev later returned to find his entire village had died due to Whett's over-fishing of the region.
