Marvel Comics

The first mission Starforce are sent on leads the team to the planet known as Torfa. In the film, Torfa is a desolate planet home to members of the Skrull diaspora, but it actually plays a different role in the comics.

Although once again depicted as a refugee planet, those who reside on Torfa have actually been displaced by the war against the Builders, which was depicted in the events of Jonathan Hickman's Infinity. Carol heads toward the system during the events of Higher, Further, Faster, More, where she opposes an enemy fleet from attacking the planet's inhabitants.
