Korbin is an excruciatingly hot planet with very little to offer. Formerly a successful mining colony, the veins of ore have long been played out. What remains barely keeps the planet's economy going. The planet's secondary industry is the growing of a certain fruit that is used ot make a potent alcoholic beverage, but its primary money-maker is a thriving black market.
The planet has no surface oceans. Water is found in small quantities in underground pools and reserviours. The terrain is mostly flat scrub plains, with a few small mountain ranges and valleys to break up the monotony.
Korbin is the last stop for many in the galaxy whose fortunes and scruples have dwindled to nothing. The Korbin system is located far enough away from normal Imperial routes and patrols that the Empire sees no point in going in and cleaning the place up.
Planetary government is non-existent. Chaos and anarchy reign. Korbin has never professed loyalty to either the Empire or New Republic, and the Battle of Endor changed nothing as far as the planet's occupants were concerned. |
