The Collus Reach[4] was located in[3] the Collus system, which was part of the Thuldin's Grant sector of the Expansion Region[1] and the Interior,[2] and lay in grid square J-15 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] At some point between around 389 BBY and around 379 BBY,[5] Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani explored the ruins of old Force sects deep in the Collus Reach, which she remembered shortly before her Jedi Trials[4] around 379 BBY[5] while reflecting on the challenges she had faced and lessons she had learned in the past few years.[4]

Behind the scenes

The Collus Reach was mentioned in the short story "Shield of the Jedi," written by George Mann and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[4]

(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 Collus Reach in relation to Collus system.

  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 Rooper Nitani is fifteen years old during the events of The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 382 BBY. Furthermore, by the time of the events of "Shield of the Jedi," Nitani is around eighteen years old, and that story also establishes that she explored the ruins in the Collus Reach no more than ten years earlier.
