Alpheridies was located at the edge of a giant molecular cloud called the Veil. Because none of the standard trade routes passed near Abron, the system and its inhabitants were segregated from the rest of galactic civilization. After the Subterra Period[6], the world was discovered by the Miraluka who migrated to Alpheridies when their world of origin entered into a phase of geophysical and geochemical instability during which the atmosphere began to vent into space.[2] The world was forced to deal with the larger galaxy during the Yuuzhan Vong War when the Far-Outsiders invaded the planet.
