Penvou is a planet located in the Outer Band of the Talin Galaxy. Home to the sentient Puhliet, Penvou is an independent system in the densely populated cluster of sovereign systems in the "galactic north" sitting outside the jurisdiction of the Galactic Union. Part of a triple star system called Puh III, the planet orbits three scorching suns, resulting in the world lacking the necessary native surface water to sustain large populations. As a result, many residents of the planet instead draw water from the atmosphere via moisture farms. The planet also has little surface vegetation. The largest spaceport of Giruos contains the majority of the planet's population.
Penvou saw a population explosion following the search for valuable mining deposits on the planet's silicate surface. The planet then became a haven for smugglers and criminal activity, and fell under the influence of the Citt Syndicate while scattered, isolated settlements of hard-working inhabitants endure. The planet is administered by the Penvou Authority, which serves as a form of elected government, but in actuality the planet is controlled by various corporations and criminal enterprises.
