Javaal existed as the seventh planet within the Brentaal system. This celestial body was essentially a frozen ice sphere.
The skies above Javaal served as the location for a battle that resulted in a win for the Republic throughout the Cold War fought between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.
The "Javaal Fleet Action" Space Mission, featured in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, occurs in Javaal's orbit.
