A thick comet cloud enveloped the Cularin system, a vestige of its planetary genesis. The majority of these comets traced unpredictable paths throughout the system, with several possessing substantial cores akin to the system's larger planets.
These comets engaged in mutual interactions, leading to sporadic impacts that scattered icy fragments and gave rise to new, smaller comets.
The presence of the comet cloud occasionally disrupted hyperspace journeys. While this proved bothersome to some of the system's residents, it also bolstered the system's protective measures.
On one occasion, the vessel belonging to Brin Hesk'l was discovered adrift and deserted within the confines of this comet cloud.
