Talk:Byss
Back to page
Hey, has anyone noticed the discrepancy with Byss being in other sources (most notably the Jedi Academy game) after its destruction? I never read the Dark Empire books, so I was surprised to find that Byss was destroyed in 10 ABY, whereas Jedi Academy takes place in 14 ABY. Marauder 05:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, I apologize. I stand corrected - Rosh Penin traveled to the remains of Byss, where he was captured. Marauder 16:00, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Oh. I was going to say, if it was the planet itself, it would be another example of how games go against canon... ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 19:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Evidence of the Dark Side 
Edit
He enslaved them and drained their life energies to power his abominable experiments. Eventually, Byss was entirely enveloped in the dark side of the Force. This was evident by the eerie blue-green sunlight that bathed the world in a strange glow.
What is the canon source that the color of the world's sunlight was evidence of the Dark Side, rather than simply evidence of the star's color or the planet's atmosphere? According to the DE Sourcebook, Byss orbits a binary pair of a blue giant and a blue dwarf. --68.41.122.213 18:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Image Edit
Byss does not look like that in EaW. It looks more like Alderaan than Coruscant. -- I need a name (Complain here) 22:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Most likely a mistake in the developers, there are a few in there. Jono R 17:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Rebels Destroyed Byss Edit
Anyone find this kind of disturbing? I mean I know it was an accident but still there were 19 billion people there and most were (presumably) innocent? -Gimodon
Yeah, that's fucked up. But considering what happened in the aftermath of Endor, it's not alone. I wonder how many actually died or how much evacuated.
BTW the Imperial Fleet orbiting Byss was much smaller than earlier in the comic series, as the fleet was dispersed around the Galaxy so that could be a good thing. -SWF
Image Swap Edit
- I'm going to swap the two shots of Byss (FF and EaW) because that model from EaW is not unique at all and is used on a dozen different planets. - Brynn Alastayr 07:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Two different Bysses Edit
Where is it that says that the Byss of Palpatine and the Byss of the Abyssin are two different planets? I like to think of myself as pretty knowledgeable of Star Wars, but up til just a moment ago, I thought the Abyssin were from Palpatine's fortress world. —Unsigned comment by 74.193.115.85 (talk • contribs).
- Palpatine's Byss is a lush world in the Deep Core, and has a single star; the arid homeworld of the Abyssin is in the Outer Rim Territories, and has a figure-eight orbit around the stars Byss and Abyss. As the second edition of Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races notes, "The Byss populated by the Abyssin is not the same world rumored to house the Emperor's private retreat. It is a hot, dry desert world in another part of the galaxy altogether" (italics theirs). jSarek 07:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Here's a suggesstion, add the fact that the Byss in the Outer Rim that has 2 stars in the Outer Rim to the Behind the Scenes. I understand it's not right probably, it could be retconned. Jono R 17:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Discovery and Deep Core Edit
Wouldn't the Deep Core have been fully explored early on in the Republic? If so, how did this planet escape notice for so long? Jono R 17:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- The Deep Core is actually so dense with stars that travel there is very difficult, so it went uncharted for millenia and is still largely uncharted. This is how Byss remained undiscovered - User:Anonymous 25 August 2009
- Star Wars: The Old Republic has now clarified that Byss was known several thousand years before the date stated here, due to the presence of Seh-run in the Tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban, and subsequent conversations with Overseer Prithor - Jonaleth 19 February 2012
