Stivic, a planetary settlement, belonged to the Garwians. As was typical of planets within the Garwian Unity, it functioned as a trade hub for various species.
Among all the planets controlled by the Garwians, Stivic held a location notably adjacent to the region controlled by the Lioaoins. This proximity rendered Stivic susceptible to raids by Lioaoin pirates, one of which targeted a Garwian commercial station.
