Isde Naha an Outer Rim Territories planet located in the Greater Javin region. An industrial world with no tolerance toward law-breaking and smuggling, it was originally settled as part of the Javin sector. Around 400 BBY, the portion of that sector containing Isde Naha became the new Anoat sector, and, generations later, it in turn was re-designated the Yarith sector, which the planet served as the capital of. Isde Naha hosted a significant presence of the corporate interests of the Greater Javin's influential Figg family, and, after a series of pirate raids during the Galactic Civil War that resulted in the seizure of Figg Excavations transports, the Mining Guild's Enforcer Fannis Gult coordinated the Guild's investigation efforts into the matter from Isde Naha.

Description[]

Isde Naha was a terrestrial[4] planet[2] located in the Isde Naha system, a part of the Yarith sector. It was situated in the Greater Javin region, a part of the Western Reaches portion of the Outer Rim Territories. Isde Naha 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.[5]

History[]

Early explorations[]

Space surrounding Isde Naha was explored by the Galactic Republic between 3000 BBY and 1000 BBY, with the planet 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[2] at some point between approximately 1000 BBY and 600 BBY,[6] the former established the Javin sector in the former Mugaari Space. There, launching from 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.[2]

Figg history[]

Lord Ecclessis Figg (statue pictured) played an important role in Isde Naha's history.

Figg's achievements in the exploration of the region also included the blazing of a new route that connected the Nothoiin Corridor hyperlane to[2] the Lipsec Run[1]—and therefore eventually to the Corellian Trade Spine at Isde Naha. The discovery accelerated the development of the more backwater areas of the Javin sector. In the last year of Figg's life,[2] around 400 BBY,[3] the portion of the sector containing Isde Naha was re-designated as the new Anoat sector, and generations after that, the Anoat itself was further split into two parts, with Isde Naha becoming a part of the Yarith sector.[2] Although Isde Naha 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 planet's vicinity.[7]

At some point during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance—not long after the Battle of Hoth[4] of 3 ABY[8]—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. Due to their relative unfamiliarity with the area, the Enforcers were forced to set up a temporary office on[4] the nearby planet[2] Darlyn Boda in order to recruit local spacers to help locate the pirates, with the Guild's team wishing for the raiders to be delivered to law enforcement officials on Isde Naha for questioning. The leader of the Enforcer team, Fannis Gult, was also based on Isde Naha, though her impatience motivated her to leave that world and be more directly involved in the investigation.[4]

Inhabitants[]

Isde Naha was an extremely rigid[2] industrialized world that served as the Yarith sector's capital.[1] It had strict regulations[9] and lacked any tolerance toward law-breaking and smuggling.[1] The finance and engineering sectors of Isde Naha featured a heavy presence of the Greater Javin's influential corporate interests controlled by the descendants of Ecclessis Figg,[2] with the world being proud of its Figg heritage. The population of the Isde Naha system around 25 ABY numbered between one and ten billion.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Isde Naha was introduced in Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Roleplaying Game supplements "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin"[2] and "Rough and Tundra," both of which where published on Wizards.com on March 25, 2004.[4] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed Isde Naha in grid square K-18.[1]

Since the supplement dates Figg's death to "nearly four centuries" prior to its setting, the establishment of the Anoat sector can be placed in approximately 400 BBY.
