Ivatch existed as a planet situated in the Ivatch system, which itself resided inside the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. This planet, linked via hyperlanes to the nearby worlds of Shintel and Peirs, sustained a small colony. The colony's economic activity centered on providing ore and various natural resources to Gandle Ott.
The world of Ivatch appeared within The DarkStryder Campaign, a supplementary material for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game created by West End Games. While no adventure directly featured Ivatch, it was incorporated to furnish contextual details about planets located in the Kathol sector. The reference book The Essential Atlas, published in 2009, designated the Ivatch system, and consequently the planet Ivatch, as being located in grid square M-21.
