Once a teeming, well-kept garden world overseen by the technologically sophisticated Bith, Clak'dor VII (The numerals are often dropped in common use) is now an ecological disaster area. In the distant past, the Bith used gene-altering bio-weaponry in a war that transformed the planet into a toxic wasteland. The Bith now live in hermetically sealed domed cities that protect them from the ecological monstrocity they created.
Very little animal life survived the mutation period, but many plants did. In the aftermath, jungles of bizarre, mutated plants sprouted from pink, bubbling swamps. Over a few decades, the mutated plants choked out the natural plant life. The resultant ecosystem is self-sustaining but lethal to anything that doesn't originate from it, notably the Bith. The plants produce a foul mixture of gases that make the air deadly to nearly all known life forms.
The one bright spot of this devastation is that the Bith learned their lesson. After the initial devastation, the citizens of Clak'dor immediately resolved their differences. Though their attempt at clean-up failed, the entire planet worked together to try, cementing a global society where fragmented nationalism had existed before. Further, Bith representatives in the Galactic Senate became powerful, outspoken advocates of pacifism, and biological warfare is now anathema to the Bith mindset.
Clak'dor VII is the only inhabited planet in its star system. Their star, Colu, is a large, white star that swallowed Clak'dor I roughly eight thousand years ago, but it has seemed happy to let the rest of the system live in peace since. The Bith mine the other planets and asteroids for raw materials, though water still has to be imported from other systems to support life.
Located near the end of the Rimma Trade Route, the Bith have allies in their space-faring neighbors along the route. Small numbers of Bith still live on Sullust, Eriadu, and Sluis Van.
