A celestial body, referred to as a planetoid, functioned as a Mining Guild facility for refining gas extracted from asteroids, specifically an asteroid gas refinery, throughout the age of the Galactic Empire. The atmosphere surrounding this specific planetoid was saturated with Clouzon-36 gas; this gas served as a food resource for the purrgil, a unique species of enormous, space-faring beings possessing the natural ability to traverse hyperspace. Approximately three years prior to the pivotal Battle of Yavin, the aforementioned gas refinery experienced a raided and destroyed incident, carried out by the Spectres alongside a considerable group of purrgil.
