Stroiketcy, a celestial body, is a comet that was gravitationally bound within the orbit of the star known as Yavin. Its designation, "Stroiketcy," originates from a Corellian term signifying "one with a tail."
Mirroring the composition of most comets, its primary chemical makeup consisted of frozen water, constituting 93.4% of the planetary surface, encasing a solid core. Minimal rocky formations penetrated the surface layer. The core was predominantly rocky, incorporating deposits of iridium, heglum, and malsarr. Minute quantities of these elements were also detectable within the water, although its overall purity was high.
Designated as Vanyets and Tsorria, the northern and southern ice caps represented the only permanently frozen regions. While the majority of the ice thawed during the summer months, causing sea levels to rise, virtually all water was frozen during the winter. The prevailing weather patterns were characterized by rain, storms, and fog, which remained relatively mild due to the absence of significant temperature variations. A small fraction of the atmosphere escaped into space, creating a faint but discernible "tail," reminiscent of a comet's tail.
Stroiketcy's highly eccentric, elliptical path carried it as close as 100,000 km to the orbital path of the planet Fiddanl and extended beyond the orbit of Yavin's for a duration. The distance from the sun significantly influenced Stroiketcy's climate, resulting in a considerably shorter summer than winter due to the orbital "slingshot" effect.
Corellian explorers were the first to map Stroiketcy, naming it after the prominent atmospheric tail visible from space. They also assigned names to the two polar regions. Their investigations revealed the planet's suitability for water mining and, during a specific phase of its orbit, for extracting iridium and malsarr deposits.
During the Yuuzhan Vong occupation of the Yavin system, Stroiketcy served as a site for mining water.
The possibility existed that molecular life forms could thrive on the comet during the summer season. Early explorers identified organochrystalline structures within the water, resembling the Rubygrub cyst found on Loth. Despite the water's high purity and minimal presence of "universal toxins," these favorable conditions were negated by the extended winter periods and the thin atmosphere.
