Hoth

Hoth is known for one reason, and for one reason only-- there's a rather annoying asteroid field that lies between it and Ryloth, interrupting what would be the only clear hyperlane from Nar Shaddaa to a key importer of Outer Rim goods and services in the Republic. The Hoth system is a thorn in the sides of smugglers, pirates, and weapons dealers alike.
Every attempt thinkable has been made to make Hoth less of a thorn. Three hundred years ago, the Hutt families of Nar Shaddaa pumped millions of credits into an attempt to clear the asteroid field. The starships hired to do the job are now lifeless hulks, adding to the debris and danger of the field. Some enterprising smugglers or pirates have tried building outposts on the only (technically) livable planet in the Hoth system. Rumor has it that their frozen corpses may still be found buried in the glaciers.
As for government, or claims to owning or controlling the Hoth system, the most common response of almost every sentient asked in the galaxy is, "What is the Hoth system?" followed with a close second of, "Who the devil cares?"
The surface of Hoth is frozen and forbidding.
