Shelba is the fifth planet in the Venoss system of the Minos Wasteland. Discovered by asari explorers in 603 BCE, Shelba was disregarded early on by potential colonization efforts due to its bitter and cold weather conditions globally, with constant blizzards sweeping across the planet on a weekly basis, leaving only small windows of opportunity to even land on the planet, let alone establish a functioning colony, as the ice storms disrupt communications and are fast enough to dissuade exploration too far from the safety of a colony. With Shelba left untouched by galactic civilization, Shelba is instead used by pirates and other criminal groups to perform trade deals due to its secrecy, with no prying eyes for dozens of AUs. Outside of this capacity, Shelba would see no sophisticated habitation by any of the major species of the galaxy, the only life living on the planet being bacteria and micro-organisms.
