―An excerpt from Maz Kanata's journal[3]

The Forbidden Gardens of Nuswatta was a point of interest[3] located in[2] the Nuswatta system of the Cronese Mandate sector in the Outer Rim Territories.[1] In her journal, pirate Maz Kanata wrote that she had visited the Forbidden Gardens of Nuswatta and that she considered it, alongside the Cathedral of Winds, as one of the most wondrous things she had seen in her life.[3]
