Bororn was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] in the Bororn system in the Rseik sector of the Outer Rim Territories, located in grid square N-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[2] It was the site of[4] the location known as the Mudfields of Bororn.[3]

In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauders formed the Occlusion Zone—an area of space situated behind the Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel to and from the rest of the Galactic Republic's territory.[6] Bororn was situated within the former region.[1] Around 228 BBY,[7] the Nihil surrendered to the Republic following the Stormwall's fall, which dissolved the Occlusion Zone as a territory. Locations in the former Occlusion Zone were welcomed back into the Republic if they wished to re-join. Some of them, however, opted to retain their independence, while others remained under the control of individual Nihil warlords.[8]

Behind the scenes

Bororn was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in Pablo Hidalgo's 2025 reference book Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide.[1]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for the Mudfields of Bororn in relation to Bororn.

(backup link) (In response to: "Hello @cavanscottwriter, got a bit of a weird question that you may be able to answer spawning from the recent Star Wars web map of the galaxy updates. In The Monster of Temple Peak 1, Ty and Drewen are at the "Mudfields of Bororn" slaying a creature, and later they deliver its teeth/spines to a village elsewhere. There's no new location titlecard, so do you remember if this species is intended to be nearby still on Bororn, or is it implied the duo flew offworld to deliver their trophies?")
