Ipethor was a planet in the Rikh System, slightly outside of the explored Galaxy. The planet exported astromechs into the mid-rim territories, but remained largely independent from outside governing bodies. The most popular location of the planet was the Hivri Market where goods were exchanged and traded. The city of Hivri had no recognized credit system, as such the traditional exchange was trading of goods. Ships were uncommon on Ipethor and as such the majority of it's inhabitants were unaware of events and locations in the known regions of the galaxy.
