- "When they were first confronted with space travel, many left their homes and sought out worlds to wreak havoc, particularly in places of ill repute."
- ―An artist's journal entry on the Hassks
Hasskyn was a terrestrial celestial body[3] located in the regions known as the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Western Reaches.[2] It was situated in grid square M-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1]
Hasskyn was the homeworld of the sentient Hassk species. When the naturally aggressive Hassks were first introduced to interstellar travel, many of them left their homeworld in order to wreak havoc elsewhere in the galaxy. Hasskyn was eventually mentioned in an entry of an artist's journal dedicated to the species. The journal was eventually restored, expanded, and displayed at the Graf Archive[3] at some point no earlier than 34 ABY.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Hasskyn was introduced in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Alien Archive by Natalie Clubb and Katrina Pallant.[3]

- ↑ Star Wars: Alien Archive, which is presented as a restored in-universe journal, mentions Poe Dameron's mutiny against Amilyn Holdo, which is depicted in Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. The Star Wars Book places the events of The Last Jedi in the same year as the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY, meaning the document must have been published at some point no earlier than that year.
