Equanus

OnALegendsArticle

"Two years, six months, and three days ago, a solar flare burst from our sun that was over ten light-minutes long. A huge, unheard-of, massive eruption, far greater than any the star had produced in ten million years. A flare that jetted forth with such power and force that Equanus was cooked. The atmosphere and oceans boiled away in minutes; the land was turned into a burned-out cinder. Our scientists saw it coming, but too late. It arrived before anybody had the slightest hope of escaping it. They knew it was coming, and they knew there was nothing that could be done."
―Klo Merit, to Jos Vondar[2]

Equanus was a planet located within the Nharl system of the Veragi sector, in the New Territories portion of the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It was the homeworld of the Equani.[2]

History

"All of the Equani, nearly a billion people—our art, our civilization, our hopes, dreams, everything—all scorched to ash in a few moments, Jos. Gone. Dead. Forever."
―Klo Merit, to Jos Vondar[2]

In 23 BBY, the Galactic Republic tested a superweapon,[2] a predecessor of the Death Star,[1] on the star Nharl.[3] The resulting intense solar flare accidentally destroyed all life on Equanus, as well as the superweapon and its testers. Only those Equani offworld at the time survived. Equani scientists realized too late that Equanus was being destroyed, and the planetary comm lines were jammed with Equani saying their last goodbyes to each other.[2]
