Murk was a planetoid located in the Murk system of the Outer Rim Territories' Moddell subsector. It was an airless, barren rock with low gravity. When the Galactic Empire established the Sanctuary Pipeline, a hyperlane meant for the transportation of construction materials and components to the Death Star II battle station in the Endor system, the Murk system became the penultimate stop on the hyperspace route.
On the planetoid, an Imperial cargo-transfer station was established, where cargoes arriving via the Sanctuary Pipeline were unloaded for subsequent shipment to the Endor system. Following the Battle of Endor, the Shell Hutt Tagoonta escaped to the Murk transfer station from troubles in Hutt Space.
