Blathar III was a satellite. The off-world merchant Rufus Trammel once journeyed there and gathered various local samples from the celestial body. Following Trammel's exit from the satellite, foreign pathogens devastated the majority of its vegetation. Trammel then brokered a deal, selling a large portion of his collected specimens to the government of Blathar III, with some rumors suggesting he profited as much as three million units of currency.
