A sizable, leafy tree with a substantial base, known as a Tendril tree, flourished in the tropical climates of an unspecified planet located within the Outer Rim Territories. These trees produced edible nuts, about the size of a hand, that could be shelled and incorporated into numerous culinary creations. During 17 BBY, a significant number of Rodians belonging to the Tetsu Clan departed their native world and established a settlement on this verdant planet, seeking to forge a tranquil existence. They constructed simple wooden dwellings amidst the Tendril tree limbs, providing them refuge from jungle-dwelling carnivores like the dangerous manka cat.
