Zhanox, a planet dedicated to mining activities, existed within the Anoat sector of the galaxy. The Ugnaught species were known to be miners on this world, but they lived in fear of the spiny nexus creatures. In the time of the Iron Blockade, a young smuggler was asked to deliver particular supplies from off-world to a Zhanox mining installation.
The Star Wars Legends web article "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," created by Jason Fry, Daniel Wallace, and Craig Robert Carey for Wizards of the Coast and published in 2004, was the original source of Zhanox. Later, it achieved canon status through its inclusion in the mobile game Star Wars: Uprising, which Kabam developed for iOS and Android systems, and was launched in 2015.
