Somov Rit, a green planet with few inhabitants, was home to a Human population. In the era of the New Sith Wars, the Jedi scout named Torr Snapit arrived on the world, hoping to find individuals strong in the Force to recruit. However, he found just three young children, Rain, Tomcat and Bug. Rain would eventually become Darth Bane's apprentice, Darth Zannah, and assist in the reformation of the Sith Order.
Because of the local legend of the swamp demon, the inhabitants of the world used nicknames. It wasn't unusual for someone to go through life without those close to them ever knowing their actual given name. The planet Somov Rit was the habitat of Maslak plants, and its people primarily lived off of seafood and roots, with many working as seafarers.
