Ter Abbes, situated in the Ter Abbes system within the Expansion Region and conveniently near the Perlemian Trade Route, was a bleak, industrialized planet. Despite having a democratically chosen government, it suffered from considerable instability. This was exemplified when Nom Anor hired Goran Beviin, a Mandalorian mercenary, to assassinate Tholote B'Leph, a politician from the opposition, right before an election. The resulting civil war, triggered by his death, continued to rage in 25 ABY.
During the encounter between Boba Fett and Nom Anor aboard a Yuuzhan Vong warship, a male Human individual originating from Ter Abbes was present. He was enslaved and subjected to implantation with an experimental Yorik-Kul.
