Keres II

Keres II was a frozen rock planet in the Empress Teta system of the Deep Core's Koros sector. It orbited the star Koros but had no moons. The planet contained a number of carbonite deposits, which a mining outpost was set up to exploit. However, the miners working in the outpost suddenly abandoned the planet without explanation by 3643 BBY.Per the reasoning here, Act I of Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place around 3643 BBY. Since players of The Old Republic can assign their companions on the mission "The Carbonite Mines" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY.
By that year, an individual affiliated with one of the two warring governments in the ongoing Cold War between the Galactic Republic and reconstituted Sith Empire had a companion of theirs travel to the planet. The companion explored deep into the mines and encountered a terentatek that had been freed from an icy prison. The companion escaped the planet with a haul of carbonite and various ores.
