Sheva, a world located within the Sheva system found in the Tapani sector, existed as an underdeveloped region within the Freeworlds Territory. Its governing body adopted a lenient approach, posing minimal risk to those engaged in smuggling and other illicit activities.
Orbiting Sheva was a desolate moon, which served as the location for the Alabard's Comets' monitoring station. Not long after the events of the Battle of Hoth, Jinjur Tomas, aboard the Shindra Lady, uncovered this hidden base. To ensure Tomas's discretion, the Comets provided him with a substantial payment.
