Background: Situated on the major Corellian Run
hyperlane and close to the planet of Rodia, the Outer
Rim world of Christophsis was the only planet in the
Savareen sector's Christoph system with an atmosphere
that could support life. Christophsis orbited the star of
Christoph with its single moon as a companion and had
a temperate climate and a terrestrial terrain. The planet
was famous for the beauty of its nearby asteroid belts—
the Barren, the Hammers, and the Halo—but its
location close to the asteroids often made it a target for
stray rocks. Foodstuffs were one of the planet's few
imports, but the asteroid belts of the system were
abundant in raw materials. Among the planet's other
exports were artwork and industrial goods.
Christophsis was covered in massive green-blue
hexagonal crystals, which were also suitable for use as
lightsaber crystals. The inhabitants of Christophsis took
advantage of the natural spires, building cities into and
around the crystalline formations and using the crystals'
solid structures for foundation and support; the size of
the world's buildings often varied with the size of their
supporting crystals. Some of the world's cities were so
large that they could be seen from space. From time to
time, solar storms ripped through the upper
atmosphere of Christophsis.
