Toleer

Toleer is a frigid wandering planet and home to the Torec Resources and Refining mining company. The sector around this space, covering a vast territory, is often referred to as the Toleer Sector or the Toleer Dark Region, and is filled to the brim with the dust and remnants of debris thrown clear of novae and bad orbits.
The territory has few suns, many quite young or immensely old, and where many ships in the rest of the galaxy are actively cooled for comfort, ships operating in the Toleer sector are often actively heated to prevent freezing up.
The reasoning as to why such an inhospitable place would be home to such a powerful company is often explained as to 'provide centralized governance over company territory', but the vast majority of sentients both inside and without have a different reason: it's so no one can touch them.
The planet is located roughly 13,000 light-years "south-southeast" of Earth in a starless void between two galactic spiral arms, but the original origins of the world are unknown. Initial findings show that the world once had been quite baked with solar energy, and has since frozen entirely... but these days Torec refuses to allow third-party research in its territory.
