Bryndar, a planet, experienced a glacial period throughout the Clone Wars. This, added to its isolated location, provided an ideal refuge for people like smugglers to remain unseen. Flynn Kybo, B'dard Tone, and Codi Ty exploited this aspect of the planet while they were searching for General Grievous.
During the Clone Wars, Bryndar served as a hiding place for a pair of smugglers.
In 17 BBY, the Imperial Reconquest of the Rim included a battle that took place on the planet, a component of the Western Reaches Operation.
