Athio III was a terrestrial astronomical object in the galaxy. Following the Great Jedi Purge[1] that began in 19 BBY,[2] Jedi Velerie Tide hid on Athio III from the Galactic Empire and disguised herself as a local.[1] By 9 BBY,[3] Tide had been revealed as a Force-user and was killed, with her remains being displayed in Fortress Inquisitorius, headquarters of the Empire's Inquisitorius Jedi-hunters, on the moon Nur.[1] Athio III shared its name[1] with the Athio Seven Hundred podrace.[4]
