Ertegas was an agriworld located in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was run by a populace of agri-droids overseen by a small number of Humans, and the future Bespin Wing Guard member Allen Neff hailed from the world.
Description[]
Ertegas was a terrestrial world located in the Ertegas system, a part of the Anoat sector. It was situated in the Greater Javin region within the Western Reaches portion of the Outer Rim Territories. The world lay on the super-hyperroute known as the Corellian Trade Spine, which connected it to the Darlyn Boda system and the neighboring Yarith sector's Shuxl system. Ertegas was located inside the Ivax Nebula.[1]
History[]
After the Galactic Republic's victory in a war against the nearby civilization of the Mugaari species[3] at some point between approximately 1000 BBY and 600 BBY,[4] the former established the Javin sector in the former Mugaari Space.[3] Around 400 BBY,[2] the portion of the sector containing Ertegas was re-designated as the Anoat sector.[3] Ertegas was the homeworld of the Human Allen Neff,[5] who was born at some point by 3 BBY[6] and eventually became a member of the Bespin Wing Guard security force on[5] the Anoat sector planet Bespin.[1]
Inhabitants[]
Ertegas was a thriving agriworld[1] that was almost entirely automated,[3] being run by[1] agri-droids[3] that were supervised by a handful of Human overseers.[1] Rumors claimed that the world's droid populace had in fact taken over control a long time prior, with the Human authority reduced to being purely formal.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Ertegas was introduced in Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game supplement "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," which was published on Wizards.com on March 25, 2004.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the world in grid square K-18.[1]

Since the supplement dates Figg's death to "nearly four centuries" prior to its setting, the establishment of the Anoat sector can be placed in approximately 400 BBY.

This establishes an approximate time frame of 1000 BBY–600 BBY for the war.

- ↑ "Rogues Gallery: The Cloud City Wing Guards" — Star Wars Insider 148 states Allen Neff arrived to Bespin at the age of six and eventually became a member of the Bespin Wing Guard. "Rogues Gallery" also depicts Neff serving in the ranks of the Wing Guard during the events of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, which The New Essential Chronology dates to 3 ABY. Therefore, Neff must have been born at some point by 3 BBY.
