Tshindral III, a planetoid situated in the Mid Rim close to the Outer Rim, possessed a thin and poisonous atmosphere. This atmosphere was so corrosive that it could damage the hulls of freighters in under a single day on the planet. Starlyte Station revolved around it in orbit. The Imperial activities conducted on the station resulted in the devastation of the previously tropical planet's ecosystem. Tshindral III experienced a day lasting 25 standard hours and a year consisting of 300 days on the planet.
