Nox was a planet with no moons that was located within the Tython system of the galaxy ' s Deep Core region , at galactic coordinates L - 10 . The world occupied the third orbital position around its sun Tythos , and it was polluted to such a level that its inhabitants had to live in domed cities that were supplied with filtered air . History . When the non – Force - sensitive settlers of Tython — the fifth planet of the Tython system — traveled to its neighboring worlds more than a millennium after the year 36 , 453 BBY , they colonized Nox . Nox was a verdant world and it had supported vast forests and complex ecosystems . But settlers had quickly made use of its rich metal deposits and endless wood supplies to build giant smelting plants , extracting 90 percent of the metals used across the system . Over the space of a thousand years , most of the forests had vanished into ash , and with them the creatures they had supported . It had been a merciless despoliation of the planet , but at the time the system had been a new , mysterious frontier , and those brought there by the Tho Yor were desperate to make a home for themselves . By 25 , 793 BBY , Nox had become a manufacturing world , with nearly ninety domed cities established on the planet dedicated to the production and refinement of ore . On Nox , products were made whose manufacture was hazardous to the environment , one such product being the CRSF27 space freighter built by Craedos Shipyards . When the Despot War began in earnest across the Tython system , some of the manufacturing cities threw their production power behind the Despot Queen Hadiya , while others supported the Je ' daii . The divisions between these cities ran deep , even in the wake of war as multiple domes had been shelled into complete destruction by both sides . Greenwood Station was the greatest hater of the Je ' daii , as the three closest cities to it had all been destroyed by the Order ' s bombers . In 25 , 793 BBY , the exiled Human Je ' daii Daegen Lok planned to supply the Human Force Hound Xesh with the forge factories of Nox in order for Xesh to construct a Forcesaber weapon for Lok . During their hunt for Lok and Xesh , the Je ' daii team led by the Twi ' lek Ranger Hawk Ryo decided to travel to Nox in order to capture the fugitives . Behind the scenes .
