Ch'hodos's red sun was a red star[4] that was located in the Ch'hodos system. It was a part of the Esstran sector,[1] in the Trans-Hydian portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] The area of space containing the star was surrounded by the nebulosity of the Stygian Caldera,[3] and was known as the Sith Worlds.[1] The Ch'hodos system was linked via Nache Bhelfia hyperlane to the Krayiss and Ziost systems, while the hyperspace route known as Zorfe Trete connected it to the Ashas Ree system.[3]

The red star was orbited by the planet of Ch'hodos.[4] By 3643 BBY,[5] the radiation emitted from Ch'hodos's sun had increased, causing mutations in the planet's desert life-forms.[4]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

An individual visiting Ch'hodos at that time discovered skeletons of mutated creatures inside a cave, which suggested that the planet's sun had cyclically gone through similar changes in radiation output in the past.[4]

Behind the scenes[]

Ch'hodos's red sun was mentioned in a Bioanalysis Crew Skill mission of Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 video game developed by BioWare, though the information regarding the mission's outcome was later removed from the game.[4] The Ch'hodos system, and therefore the red sun, was placed in grid square R-4 by the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas.[3]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 StarWars Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) — Based on corresponding data for Ch'hodos system
  2. 2.0 2.1 The Essential Atlas places the Ch'hodos system, and therefore Ch'hodos's sun, in grid square R-4 and depicts territory falling in that grid square as being located in the Trans-Hydian region.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 The Essential Atlas — Based on corresponding data for Ch'hodos system
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 SWTOR mini Star Wars: The Old Republic — Bioanalysis Crew Skill mission: "Under a Red Star"
  5. Per the reasoning here, Act I of Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place around 3643 BBY. Since players of The Old Republic can assign their companions on the mission "Under a Red Star" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY.
