Naos III, a frozen moon situated in Wild Space close to both Smuggler's Run and the Corellian Run, was a desolate place. The Naos III Mercantile held sway over the majority of commercial activities, primarily exporting the local Naos sharptooth fish. The roadways were notorious for being both muddy and perilous. Sanitation was almost nonexistent, with waste simply pushed to the sides of the streets.
Due to the absence of officially set drinking limits by the governing corporations, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi became intoxicated while they were on a quest to locate the pilot of an experimental shuttle, as described by the Bith named Thal K'sar.
The architecture of the planet was characterized by low-lying, prefabricated structures. Icicles adorned nearly every building. The streets were largely composed of damaged ceramacrete pavement. Consistent with the prevailing local attitude, the majority of the local climate control systems were in disrepair.
Colonists originating from Rodia and Ryloth were drawn to this location with the hope of uncovering abundant deposits of ryll spice within the moon's geothermally active cave networks.
Early colonists hunted the majority of the moon's native herbivorous and carnivorous species to extinction. The exceptions to this were bovine rycrits and banthas that possessed thicker coats of wool than usual.
The continued habitation of the moon resulted in the discovery of a prized fish species residing in the ice-covered rivers. Known as the Naos sharptooth, this fish became a sought-after delicacy throughout the galaxy, from Mon Calamari to Corellia.
Naos III was home to a significant number of female Lethan Twi'leks.
