Qina

Qina was a cool, lush moon that orbited the planet Hanchin of the Outer Rim Territories' Moddell sector. It featured forests, mountain peaks, and river valleys on its surface and was home to the creatures known as dochinie, pech, and rujo. Qina was inhabited by approximately two million Humans as well as members of the Ayrou and Vashan species, and Qinan landholders kept herds of the local pechs and rujos.

Each year at mid-winter, the moon's population nearly doubled when Vashan pilgrims traveled there from their homeworld Vasha. The penitents trekked on foot to the remote Inicus Mont, which was a holy site in the Vashan religion. At Hanchin-set, a ritual took place wherein Vashan bodhis, who resided in Inicus Mont's caves, appeared in the cave-mouths and expectorated stones known as sin-bullets from their antestomaches. The Vashan pilgrims would then fight over the sin-bullets, the consumption of which was believed to absolve the penitents of the prior year's misdeeds.

At some point by 3 ABY, the Vashan caste theocrat Dochi At-Rial, who had in his possession the artifact known as the Ayrou Tessent, fled to Qina after being confronted over it by a group of treasure hunters on Vasha. The group followed At-Rial to Qina, where it retrieved the artifact and subsequently hired the bodhi Brixbrax Ux-rox to confirm the Tessent's authenticity via psychic reading. During the visit on Qina, the treasure hunters also engaged in space combat against the starships of their rivals.
