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]
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]

- ↑ 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.

- ↑ 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.
