Grippia is a small planetoid on the outskirts of the Lylat System. Discovered by Grippy Toad, President of Corneria Precious Metals Ltd., it was used as CPM's primary secret storage site for precious metals.
The planetoid is so far from the Lylat sun that it sits in near permanent darkness. This forced CPM to install artificial light in all their bases, despite their bots being known to stumble into the switches, turning the lights off.
The surface of the planetoid seems to have been sculpted to resemble the face of Grippy Toad, arguably not the best way to keep a hidden storage location secret...
