Dassal system's sun

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"Somehow, this system's sun has disappeared."

―Poe Dameron^[5]

The sun of the Unknown Regions' Dassal system was orbited by several celestial bodies, including the planet Najra-Va, which had an inhabited moon. At some point by 34 ABY, the First Order moved its Starkiller Base superweapon into the system. The weapon was charged up by draining all energy from the star, and subsequently it performed test shots that cored the other objects in the system. The star's disappearance was eventually discovered by the Resistance operatives Poe Dameron and Kazuda Xiono.

Description[]

A star was at one point located in the Dassal system, a part of Sector Epsilon 51-3 of the Unknown Regions.^[1] It was situated withing grid square H-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid^[2] and was orbited by several planets^[3] and planetoids,^[4] including the planet Najra-Va and its moon.^[1] The latter at one point became inhabited by sentient beings who lived at a village there.^[5]

History[]

"OK, that's not right."
"What? I'm not detecting anything."
"Exactly. Looks like there was a system here, but there's no star."

―Poe Dameron and Kazuda Xiono^[5]

DassalSystemCored-TheCoreProblem — The First Order extinguished the Dassal system's sun in order to core its orbiting bodies (pictured).

At some point, the First Order moved the Starkiller Base, its mobile superweapon built into the planet Ilum, to the Dassal system. With the system being used as testing grounds, the weapon was charged up by draining the energy from the star,^[1] completely extinguishing the latter. Several of the smaller celestial bodies within the system were then cored^[5] by test shots of the superweapon,^[1] with the system becoming strewn with planetary debris as a result. When the Resistance operatives Poe Dameron and Kazuda Xiono arrived in the Dassal system^[5] in 34 ABY^[4] in order to investigate First Order activity, Dameron immediately pointed out to Xiono the disappearance of the system's star.^[5]

Behind the scenes[]

The sun of the Dassal system was introduced via a pair of mentions in "The Core Problem,"^[5] the seventeenth episode of the first season of the animated television series Star Wars Resistance,^[6] which aired on February 17, 2019.^[7] Prior to the episode's release, one of the mentions of the star was featured in a mid-season trailer published on the official Star Wars YouTube channel on January 9 of the same year.^[8]
