Lenico IV, a planet situated within the Lenico system of the Outer Rim Territories, was characterized by its desolate surface. This surface was marked by ruins and other abandoned locales, one example being the Ash Plains. In orbit around this planet, several space station colonies existed, including Lenico Colony Blue.
Despite the planet's seemingly lifeless surface, various life forms sought sanctuary there around the period of the Great Galactic War. This included a small tribe of Ortolans, who were tragically annihilated by Exal Kressh, a Sith apprentice who happened to pass by. Subsequently, during the same war, members of the Jedi Order participated in a battle that unfolded on the Ash Plains.
