Two are gas giants and the other suffered a nuclear disaster long ago by a native species. The planet still has a green tint to it. Tolkeen is in the edge of the galactic core. The planet was settled in the early part of the old republic for it's vast minerals. Due to the gravity the miners and their families were gravity belts to compensate for the high gravity, but the gravity had effect on the children being born. Over time the gravity caused the colonist to become short and strong. People started calling them Frawds, because they were perceived as a fraud of a human. Tolkeen uses to be a major exporter of metals, but most mines are petered out so they are now only a minor producer. There are numerous cities on Tolkeen the four biggest Erihs, New Corian, Tolkeen City, and Dard.
