A planet existed far away, situated within the Outer Rim Territories. This planet was a forested terrestrial world, inhabited by the norwoods. Following the Galactic Empire's destruction of Alderaan, Bylsma, an Alderaan Guard member, fled and found refuge on this planet. For numerous years, he stayed there, choosing not to try and transmit any messages. When a First Order shuttle suffered sabotage, causing it to drop out of hyperspace and crash on the planet, General Armitage Hux concealed his real motives from Bylsma with the aim of utilizing his communications array. The First Order then came to extract Hux and Kylo Ren, and Hux abandoned Bylsma on the planet, planning to use it as a practice target for the Starkiller Base superweapon.
