Menelath, a city located on the planet of Iol found within the Unknown Regions, was under the authority of the Tangan Industries corporation. As the second-largest settlement on Iol, Menelath was initially built to serve as an expansion to Haven, the world's capital, which was closer to the planet's mineral resources. The city of Menelath was comprised of a large central dome, housing the majority of the city's operations, along with two supplementary domes that primarily served as residential areas. From approximately 28 BBY until the collapse of the Galactic Empire, the city was managed by Tol Ferin, a Chadra-Fan who occupied the role of Vice President within Tagan Industries.
