Though habitable, the planet was relatively arid with most of the water below the surface. The multitude of active volcanoes kept the planet fairly seismically unstable and many superheated geysers would appear on the surface as a result of the underground lava flows hitting the underground water pockets.
Demonsgate was discovered and designated NCW-86 by Imperial Survey 1982376. When the FarStar came to Demonsgate, Makezh stole the Codex from the ship and crashed on the planet's surface. The Aing-Tii Monks recovered both Makezh and the Codex. When the FarStar left Demonsgate, "Gammer" Firdaaz stayed behind to maintain the New Republic's Lifeline Project.
