The Danjar sector was a sector in the Outer Rim Territories that bordered the Mayagil, Tamarin, Tarabba, and Sluis sectors. It contained the Chagaria, Engebo, Entooine, Hurrim, Lonjair Prime, Polordio, Qexis, Queyta, Rhamsis Callo, and Syboona systems.

During the High Republic Era, it was part of Galactic Republic space. In 228 BBY, the Danjar sector became part of the Occlusion Zone—an area of space sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel—following its expansion, which the captured journalist Rhil Dairo announced via live broadcast. Later the same year, the Stormwall's fall dissolved the Occlusion Zone.

Description

The Danjar sector was a space sector located in the Outer Rim Territories^[1] and the Western Reaches^[2] that bordered the Mayagil, Tamarin, Tarabba, and Sluis sectors.^[6] It contained the Chagaria, Engebo, Entooine, Hurrim, Lonjair Prime, Polordio, Qexis, Queyta, Rhamsis Callo, and Syboona systems, which were situated in grid squares M-19, N-18, and N-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[4]

History

During the High Republic Era, the Danjar sector was part of the Galactic Republic.^[5] In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauder organization formed the Occlusion Zone, an area of space that was situated behind the Stormwall barrier preventing hyperspace travel.^[7] Afterward, the Danjar sector was one of the sectors forming the border of the territory controlled by the Republic, with several of its neighboring sectors cut off behind the Stormwall.^[5]

In 228 BBY,^[8] the Stormwall expanded further into Republic space as retribution for an unsuccessful assault on the barrier by the Republic and Jedi Order. Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro's expansion of the Stormwall was announced via live broadcast by the captured journalist Rhil Dairo, who had been forced to work for the Nihil. In her message, she indicated that the Occlusion Zone now enveloped the Danjar sector, the Mayagil sector, and parts of the Seswenna sector. The pilot Belin, the Jedi Master Avar Kriss, and the droid KC-78 listened to the broadcast from the pilot's starship, saddened by the news.^[3]

Later the same year,^[9] the Nihil surrendered to the Republic following the Stormwall barrier's fall, which dissolved the Occlusion Zone as a territory. The worlds of the Occlusion Zone,^[10] which included those in the Danjar sector,^[3] were welcomed back into the Republic if they wished. However, some opted to retain their independence, while others remained under the control of individual Nihil warlords.^[10]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, the Danjar sector was first mentioned in the novel The Eye of Darkness, written by George Mann^[3] and published on November 14, 2023 as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III.^[11] The sector was later given its first visual depiction via a map in the first issue of the 2023 comic series Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures. The issue was written by Daniel José Older, illustrated by Harvey Tolibao and Nick Brokenshire, and published by Dark Horse Comics^[5] as part of Phase III on December 6 of the same year.^[11]

The Danjar sector originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in "Sluis Sector Secedes; Seswenna Restates Loyalty," an article^[12] written by Pablo Hidalgo and Paul Ens^[13] and published in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #49 on the HoloNet News website^[12] on March 28, 2002.^[14] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, placed the Rhamsis Callo system^[15]—and therefore the planet Rhamsis Callo^[16]—in the Danjar sector.^[15] Thus, the roleplaying game adventure idea "The Silent Witness," which was authored by Ken Rolston and published in the 1987 rulebook for the first edition of West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, retroactively became the sector's first appearance.^[16]

The Online Companion also placed both the Entoo system and Hurrim Base within the Danjar sector.^[15] The Entoo system—and therefore the sector's—first visual appearance came in "Bantha Cannon," an adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game that was released in the seventieth issue of the Challenge magazine in June 1993. Since that adventure was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process,^[17] it is considered non-canon with respect to the Legends continuity.^[18] Meanwhile, Hurrim Base debuted in the 1999 LucasArts video game Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, developed by Totally Games, thus retroactively marking the Danjar sector's first unambiguously canonical visual appearance.^[19]
