Bhargebba Six was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] located in the Bhargebba system, a part of the Esstran sector[1] in the Trans-Hydian portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories. It was a part of the Sith Worlds,[1] a region surrounded by the nebulosity known as the Stygian Caldera, and was connected via the Descri Wris hyperlane to the Nfolgai and Svolten systems.[2]
Around 3643 BBY,[4] all life forms on Bhargebba Six began rapidly dying out. An individual associated with one of the two sides in the ongoing struggle between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire visited the celestial body in order to obtain final biological samples before their irreversible loss. After receiving generous approval from Lord Tibris, the visitor obtained valuable samples from Bhargebba Six, and an extermination was subsequently carried out on the astronomical object.[3]
Behind the scenes
Bhargebba Six was introduced in the 2011 BioWare video game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. In the game, the celestial body was mentioned in the Crew Skill mission "Dying Breed," which was originally exclusive to Sith Empire–faction players and stated that the "mad" Sith Lord Tibris had ordered the extermination of all life on Bhargebba Six but allowed biologists to take samples before the act had been carried out. However, this information, as well as that on the mission's outcome, was eventually removed from the mission text.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Bhargebba system, and therefore Bhargebba Six, in grid square R-4.[2]

- ↑ 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 "Dying Breed" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY.
