The planet is a too warm and too dry for widespread life, though there are simple organisms living on the cooler night side. The Gliese 832 system was first inhabited by a group of scientists with a 50 year mission to study the planetary system.
The colonies of the mission included orbiting stations around Gliese 832 C and B, and an enclosed ground base on planet C. The colonies were abandoned by the scientists after only a few years for unknown reasons. Little is known about the fate of the scientists who resided there.
