The Death Plains, located on the planet of Carajam, presented a harsh desert environment. As Zingo Gabnit and Turfitch attempted to evade the bounty hunter Boba Fett during the Imperial Era, they were compelled to traverse this area. Realizing their water supply was inadequate for survival, Gabnit used his blaster to shoot Turfitch, abandoning him to die. Subsequently, Fett encountered Turfitch, who, before his death, revealed Gabnit's whereabouts to the bounty hunter.
