The Shifting Mires was a dangerous region of Pasaana's Lurch Canyon. The area contained fields of unstable ground consisting of a black sand which would swallow nearly everything that got stuck in it. Beneath the Shifting Mires were vast mazes of tunnels created by a vexis, which were also home to the native gouge-beetles.
History[]
Various people fell victim to the sinking fields, often being swallowed and dying from the dangerous fauna or a lack of food and water.[1] Sometime after the Battle of Endor, the Sith loyalist Ochi died of unknown causes in the tunnels after falling into the Shifting Mires alongside his speeder and dagger.[2]
In 35 ABY,[3] a group of Resistance members consisting of Rey, Chewbacca, Finn, Poe Dameron, C-3PO, and BB-8 got caught in the sinking fields and found themselves in the caverns beneath. They retrieved the dagger and had a run-in with a wounded vexis snake. Rey Force healed the serpent, and it gave safe passage to the group.[2]
