N'dian

Corellian explorers discovered N'dian early in the history of the Old Republic. The records of the planet that survived the Empire's censors indicate traffic to the planet dating back several thousand years. N'dian would likely have avoided even the meager attention it received if not for a strange curiosity noticed by the initial surveyors—signs of repeated visitation by unknown offworlders. This oddity piqued further interest in the planet by commercial and scientific interests hoping to find something of value. These investigations laid the groundwork for the mines that operate on N'dian to this day.
The harsh environments of N'dian have played a significant role in preventing any serious colonization of the world. Although it is firmly within the habitable zone of its star, and its climate is generally mild outside the frozen polar regions, the planet is nonetheless hostile to civilized life. N'dian has little to offer in the way of flat surfaces for construction, with jutting rocks, deep canyons, and towering mountains covering most of its surface. Furthermore, the crust of N'dian consists of a densely compacted stone that is difficult to bore through, limiting terraforming and even underground construction.
The Planet is currently home of an Imperial Garrison and is the most heavily defended Imperial planet in the region.
