Jangelle, a temperate planet marked by sandy lowlands and a network of interconnected rivers, streams, and deltas, was located within the Kathol sector. Despite the presence of these waterways, large bodies of water were scarce on this planet.
Refugees seeking to escape the reach of the Galactic Empire in the Kathol sector established a settlement on this world. The colony, characterized by its low technological level, achieved a high degree of self-sufficiency, necessitating only a small number of supply shipments annually from Gandle Ott or Pembric II. These shipments primarily consisted of replacement components for the three weather satellites in orbit, power generators, and the few dozen droids present on the planet.
Jangelle maintained a mutual defense agreement with the Kathol Republic, with the Republic's corvettes augmenting the colony's pair of capital ships. Furthermore, two ion cannons were strategically positioned near the settlement to provide orbital defense. Due to its remote location, Jangelle lagged behind in current affairs and possessed limited knowledge of the New Republic. While news of the Emperor's demise had reached them, it was interpreted as a result of internal conflicts within the Empire, rather than the success of a revolutionary movement. The colonists were also tardy in receiving updates regarding Moff Kentor Sarne's withdrawal.
