- "I heard it might be Fikzwaa. Natives are these little critters, height of your knee. Billions of 'em. Tossed out the Empire after Endor, right? But maybe someone came back, set up a base, and we've got to go destroy it."
- ―Agias Rikton, to Yrica Quell
Fikzwaa was an astronomical object[3] in the Fikzwaa system of the Inner Rim Territories[1] and the Trailing Sectors.[2] Situated at the coordinates N-14 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it was home to a diminutive species whose population numbered multiple billion. It had been under the control of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War, but the natives drove the Empire out following the Battle of Endor[3] in 4 ABY.[4]
In 5 ABY,[5] the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing carried out a string of genocides against worlds that had not remained loyal to that government. Shortly after the devastation of the planet Fedovoi End, the 204th engineer Agias Rikton heard from other personnel that the next target was possibly Fikzwaa. When he discussed the possibility with the TIE pilot Lieutenant Yrica Quell, he speculated that a base might have been established on the celestial body after the Empire's presence there had ended.[3]
Behind the scenes
Fikzwaa was mentioned in the 2021 novel Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel. Written by Alexander Freed, the novel was the third volume of the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy.[3]

- ↑ The events of Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel begin after the Cerberon system campaign, and the novel also features the Battle of Jakku at the end of its three main sections. Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year. Furthermore, since the mention of the Fikzwaa in Victory's Price occurs prior to the Battle of Jakku, it must also have taken place that year.
