The Ash Plains, a forsaken area on Lenico IV, were mostly empty of inhabitants. However, a small tribe of Ortolans had established their village within this barren landscape. Furthermore, the Plains were haunted by a terentatek and marked by the presence of sizable statues and old, crumbling structures. During the era of the Great Galactic War, the Sith apprentices known as Exal Kressh and Teneb Kel journeyed to the Ash Plains, as did the Jedi Master named Jerbhen Hulis. As the war progressed, members of the Jedi Order engaged in a battle that took place on the Ash Plains.
