Garnib served as the main planet within the Garnib system. The Galactic Empire brought it under their control, leading to the enslavement of numerous native Balinaka, who were considered some of the galaxy's greatest artists. These enslaved Balinaka were then shipped off to breeding farms located on Karfeddion. Galactic Crystal Creations, an exporter of Garnib crystals, had its headquarters on this planet.
The world was characterized by its cold climate, with expansive frozen oceans and glaciers covering its surface.
Furthermore, Garnib functioned as the adopted home for the Vernol species. They migrated to Garnib after their original homeworld became uninhabitable due to a shift in its orbit.
