Rhinnal

Rhinnal was a cold planet which was a member of the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. Considered a key world of the Republic, Rhinnal received a sky-island with a replication of its environment for the Republic Fair on the Outer Rim planet Valo in 231 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines which contained a turbo-ski run.
Since Valo was a considerably warmer planet than Rhinnal, Jedi Master Elzar Mann visited the island to see how its environmental controls were able to maintain the snow on the island despite the summer heat, later mentioning the visit to fair coordinator Samera Ra-oon. Agreeing that the island was a feat of enviro-engineering, Ra-oon insisted that Mann try the ski run when he had time, offering to guide him after the fair's opening ceremony. However, an attack by the Nihil pirates destroyed the sky-islands, preventing Mann from revisiting the Rhinnal island.
