Froswythe, a planet situated within the Colonies, served as a significant provider of both meat and textiles derived from animals for both the Core Worlds and the Colonies themselves. The landscape was populated by roaming herds of livestock, notably featuring banthas in addition to nerfs. The inhabitants utilized Ycaqt for purposes of transportation.
The planet's gently undulating, sparsely inhabited grasslands provided refuge for both bandit encampments and ranches catering to tourists; the livestock required protection from the native plains panthers found there.
During the time of the New Jedi Order era, the Core World criminal known as Fegred Ewd maintained a secret base on Froswythe, while Jerren Durs was the proprietor of a recreational ranch named Durs Ranch.
