Korad, situated in the Elrood sector along the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route, was a planet known for its extensive collection of wrecked starship and vehicles. Functioning as a vast salvage operation during the Old Republic era, it was managed by the Renew corporation, which later faced financial ruin. The Rebellion era saw an influx of scavengers and displaced individuals making their home on the world. It is also notable as the original homeworld of Slythor, a notorious Squib crime boss.
Located at the planet's northernmost point was a compact, automated landing platform, which could be used for basic ship repairs. A ring of discarded spacecraft, many originating from the Old Republic, orbited the planet, resembling a naturally occurring space ring. The desolate terrain was scattered with remnants of various machines, including starfighters, freighters, repulsorlift vehicles, antiquated droids, and vintage landspeeders. The air was saturated with a pungent mix of leaking fluids and spilled chemicals from the wreckage, necessitating the use of a breather mask.
