Syned was an ice-covered planet in the Syned system, in Grumani sector. The planet had a volcanic moon, Syned I, where Azzameen Station was situated in orbit.[source?] During the Republic Dark Age, Syned was under the control of Sith Lord Chagras, but after his death fell into the hands of his daughter Arkadia Calimondra.

Description
Edit
Located in a cluster of blue newborn stars, Syned was captured relatively recently, in astronomical terms, by its weak sun. Because of this, the planet's rotation period was extremely short. However, the heavy molten core of Syned counter-balanced the planet's fast rotation to produce a standard gravity environment.[3] Syned was one of the outermost planets of its system[source?], therefore it was covered in ice. Physicists during the Republic Dark Age expected the planet to eventually tidally lock to its parent star, thawing the dayside. Its surface had a tortured appearance, with shattered ice sheets broken by ancient tectonic activity frozen into place.[3] The planet could not sustain sentient life, and it held no indigenous species.[source?]
History
Edit
New Sith Wars
Edit
At some point between 1,066 BBY[5] and 1,040 BBY, Syned was under the control of Sith Lord Chagras.[3]
After Chagras' death in 1,040 BBY[3], the world came into the possession of the Sith Lord Arkadia Calimondra and served as the capital of her realm.[4]
Galactic Civil War
Edit
Eventually, through the use of protective domes and underground cities, a small outpost was established on the planet. This outpost eventually became a successful transfer station due to its proximity to the Duros Space Run. However, its importance eventually led to the Empire establishing a presence on the world. The Dravian Starport was eventually built to serve as a waypoint between Syned and the desert world of Cotellier.[source?]
