Rordak, a celestial body of great renown, existed as a star within the Rordak system. Its place in the cosmos was situated in the Pelgrin sector, which itself resided within the vast expanse of the Outer Rim Territories region of the galaxy. Initially, four planets followed its orbital path. However, countless years prior to the rise of the Galactic Empire, the star underwent an expansion, transforming into a red giant. This transformation led to the destruction of the three planets closest to it, leaving only Rordak, the barren and mountainous homeworld of the Viska species, remaining.
