The Gorgaria system was located in the Karthakk sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It was home to the species known as the Gorgarian buzzadder.[3][4]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars: The Old Republic: Shadow of Revan. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

Around 3637 BBY,[5] scientists from the Gorgaria system claimed to have synthesized a poison more lethal than Ziroxin-12,[6] a chemical developed by the reconstituted Sith Empire.[7] The future commander of the Eternal Alliance[8] subsequently tasked a companion with researching the validity of the scientists' claims.[6]

Behind the scenes

The Gorgaria system was introduced in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, which placed it in grid square Q-17.[2]

  5. SWTOR mini Charles Boyd on Forums: "Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In?" (1) on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) — According to Star Wars: The Old Republic's lead designer, Charles Boyd, the majority of the events of the digital expansion Shadow of Revan take place in approximately 3637 BBY. The Crew Skill mission "Synthesis of Ruin" is part of the Shadow of Revan expansion and therefore also takes place around that year.
