Rhen Var

Rhen Var was a planet situated near the Tion Cluster in the Outer Rim Territories. Throughout the history of the Galactic Republic, Rhen Var was covered in ice, rendering it almost uninhabitable. Remains of an ancient civilization and old Jedi artifacts were found beneath the ice on the planet, remnants of a former population. 
==History==
Rhen Var was once a fertile paradise filled with vegetation and wild life. Millions of years before the Clone Wars, an atmospheric cataclysm turned it into an icy hibernal surface. Since then, it had been a frigid world of frozen tundra and snow swept mountains. 
After the Great Sith War in 3,986 BBY, former Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma sought refuge on Rhen Var, and there trained Vima Sunrider. He ultimately found peace in the snowy wastes, and was redeemed prior to his murder by Hoggon. 
At the start of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, the Confederacy of Independent Systems seized Rhen Var with an army so large that the Republic base had to evacuate the planet. After the liberation of Alaris Prime, the Republic retook Rhen Var in the Second Battle of Rhen Var. 
Later on around the time of the Battle of Yavin, a Rebel communications outpost would be discovered by Imperial forces.
