Circarpous X, situated within the Circarpous system, existed as an icy world, according to legends. It housed a traffic control facility.
Residing as the tenth planet within the Circarpous system, it accommodated a limited colonial outpost, suspected of harboring individuals sympathetic to the Rebel Alliance. Furthermore, a monitoring installation was present, scrutinizing all substantial traffic traversing the system. The sensors were calibrated to detect star cruisers and other sizable ships; however, an X-wing, or perhaps a pair, could potentially evade detection.
