The Outer Rim world of Byss was located in the Byss/Abyss system of the Slice. Home to the one-eyed Abyssin, the planet circled the binary stars Byss and Abyss in an unusual figure-eight orbit. A hot and arid planet, temperatures on Byss reached their unbearable apex when the planet passed between its two suns, a nightless period called "The Burning."
Byss was largely ignored in galactic trade, its one substantial export being the Abyssin themselves as slaves.
Much of the animal life of Byss either hibernated during the hottest part of Byss's year, or lived entirely underground. Byss's animals also evolved various systems to conserve water, such as the Abyssin ability to quickly regenerate from injuries to minimize blood loss.
Most plant life on Byss utilized extensive taproots to extract underground water.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Byss in the Farfin Sector (a misspelling of the true Farrfin Sector) of the Galactic Core.
