Isde Naha system

The Isde Naha system was a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Yarith sector. It was situated on the Corellian Trade Spine and Lipsec Run hyperlanes and contained the planet Isde Naha. Between 1004 BBY and 1000 BBY, the star system was situated in Sith-held space, while at some point by 400 BBY Isde Naha had become a Galactic Republic colony world of the Javin sector. Generations later, the planet in turn became the capital of the newly established Yarith sector. Several parties related to the Galactic Civil War traveled through the Isde Naha system in 3 ABY and 4 ABY, as did the forces of the extragalactic Nagai and Tof species as part of their separate invasions of the galaxy around that time.

Description[]

The Isde Naha system was situated in the Yarith sector. It was a part of the Greater Javin region in the Western Reaches portion of the Outer Rim Territories. The system lay on the super-hyperroute known as the Corellian Trade Spine, which linked it to the Togominda system and the neighboring Anoat sector's Ozu system, while the Lipsec Run hyperlane connected it to the Bettel system as well as the Abridon system^[1] of the Kriz sector.^[4] The star system contained the terrestrial^[5] planet of the same name,^[3] which was an industrialized world that served as the Yarith sector's capital.^[1]

History[]

Post-Mugaari[]

AnoatSectorMap — Merchants from Isde Naha attempted to discover new trade routes through the Ivax and Kiax Nebulae.

Space surrounding the Isde Naha system was explored by the Galactic Republic between 3000 BBY and 1000 BBY, with the system being situated in territory under the control of members of the Sith tradition of Force-users between 1004 BBY and 1000 BBY, during the final phase of their millennium-long conflict against the Republic.^[1] After the 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,^[6] the former established the Javin sector in the former Mugaari Space.^[3]

Launching from the Javin sector's newly colonized worlds such as Isde Naha, Republic merchants unsuccessfully attempted to discover shortcut trade routes through the region's Twin Nebulae—the Ivax and Kiax Nebula—that would better connect the civilizations of the alien Lutrillians and Nothoiins to the wider galaxy. Such hyperlanes were ultimately established through the efforts of the entrepreneur Lord Ecclessis Figg.^[3]

Later Republic reign[]

EcclessisFiggStatue-JoY — Lord Ecclessis Figg (statue pictured) played an important role in the history of the Isde Naha system.

Figg's achievements in the exploration of the region also included the blazing of a new route that connected the Nothoiin Corridor hyperlane to^[3] the Lipsec Run^[1]—and therefore eventually to the Corellian Trade Spine at the Isde Naha system. The discovery accelerated the development of the more backwater areas of the Javin sector. In the last year of Figg's life,^[3] around 400 BBY,^[2] the portion of the sector containing the Isde Naha system was re-designated as the new Anoat sector, and generations after that, the Anoat itself was further split into two parts, with the star system becoming a part of the Yarith sector.^[3]

Although the Isde Naha system lay outside the Republic's borders during the Clone Wars,^[1] during the first campaigns of that conflict in 22 BBY, the Republic's Nineteenth Sector Army was nevertheless tasked with engaging the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the system's vicinity.^[7] Shortly after the acquisition of the planet Ukio by the Commerce Guild during that conflict, the Isde Naha system was featured on a galactic map displayed on a viewscreen at a facility run by Passel Argente, the Magistrate^[8] of the Corporate Alliance.^[9]

Galactic Civil War[]

LukeESB-OP — On two occasions during the Galactic Civil War, the Jedi trainee Luke Skywalker traveled through the Isde Naha system.

Following the Galactic Civil War's Battle of Hoth^[1] in 3 ABY,^[10] the Jedi trainee Luke Skywalker traveled from the Anoat sector's Hoth system to the Dagobah system of the Sluis sector in order to undergo further training under Jedi Master Yoda.^[1] Piloting his X-wing starfighter,^[11] Skywalker transited the Isde Naha system on the way to the Dagobah system. Later, the Jedi passed through the same system on a return journey to the Anoat sector that he undertook in order to rescue his Rebel Alliance–aligned friends after witnessing them being in danger via a vision of the Force. The Rebel light freighter Millennium Falcon subsequently likewise traveled through the Isde Naha system while journeying to a rendezvous with the Alliance Fleet.^[1]

Also not long after the Battle of Hoth, the pirates Clabburn the Younger and Salmakk launched a series of raids in the Greater Javin, capturing several raw material transports of the local company Figg Excavations. Due to it already harboring suspicions about the company's loyalty, the Mining Guild, of which Figg Excavations was a member, launched a security investigation into the matter, dispatching a team of its paramilitary Guild Enforcers to the region. The leader of the Enforcer team, Fannis Gult, was based on Isde Naha, though her impatience motivated her to leave that world and be more directly involved in the investigation.^[5]

While moving Coreward as part of secondary movements of their separate invasions of the galaxy in 4 ABY, the forces of the extragalactic Nagai and Tof species traveled through the Isde Naha system. Later that year, the military forces of the Rebel Alliance's successor, the New Republic, also advanced Coreward through that system as part of the continued Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. The population of the Isde Naha system around 25 ABY numbered between one and ten billion.^[1]
