Athiss was a terrestrial astronomical object[4] located in the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the New Territories'[2] Athiss system, which was in the Sith Worlds portion of the Esstran sector.[3] It was situated in grid square R-4 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] Following the Battle of Kur[4] in 232 BBY,[5] the Reekrider Cartel sent a shipment of the recreational reedug drug to Athiss, though it was seized before its arrival by a Nihil Strike of Tempest Runner Pan Eyta's Tempest.[4] In 231 BBY,[6] Tempest Runner Lourna Dee thought about Eyta's Tempest's seizure of the Reekrider Cartel's shipment to the celestial body.[4]
