Legend

this small, frozen world is located in Mortex Sector, and was the site of a hidden Alliance base. The base housed the sector's headquarters deep in the icy crust of the planet. The planet was continually shrouded in a white, icy mist that was formed from the ejecta of hundreds of icy volcanoes. The mists reflected all light from space, making the planet appear to be a solid ball of white. The mists also disrupted communications, so the Alliance established a listening post on the planet's only moon. The mists themselves are poisonous to breathe, being laden with sulfur and other chemicals from the volcanoes. The Alliance brought the captured Black Ice to Fangol, unaware that the Empire had placed a homing beacon on the ship. The Alliance was forced to evacuate the base, but Lawra Mers proposed using the Black Ice to ram the torpedo sphere sent to wipe out the base. The plan succeeded, giving the Alliance an oppportunity to safely evacuate the base.
