Phateem, a world devoid of inhabitants, existed within the Nouane sector, positioned close to Telerath. Its landscape was characterized by extensive bamboo forests and towering mountains. Within the Ashlendu Mountains of Phateem lay the Halls of Knowledge, which previously functioned as a repository for Jedi artifacts. While ostensibly hosting a tournament, the Halls of Knowledge served as a cover for an operation orchestrated by Imperial Security Bureau Colonel Sadao Emtri, aimed at capturing Force-sensitive beings.
