Gortus 4

OnACanonArticle

"The colony on Gortus 4 has just signed over their rights to their moon."
"Good. Tell the Construction Division I want the ore factory up and running within the week."
―Lapin and Domina Tagge[3]

Gortus 4 was a terrestrial moon[3] located in the Kanz sector's Gortus system,[1] within the New Territories portion[2] of the Outer Rim Territories. Situated at the coordinates N-4 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it was home to a colony by the time of the Galactic Empire.[3] In 3 ABY,[4] the colony signed over the rights to the moon to Lady Domina Tagge of the House of Tagge. After being informed of the matter by her[3] secretary,[5] Lapin Tagge,[6] she told[3] them[7] to inform the Construction Division of her company, the Tagge Corporation, to have an ore factory running on the moon within a week.[3]

Behind the scenes

Gortus 4 was mentioned in a flashback sequence of the sixth issue of the 2020 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic series,[3] written by Alyssa Wong and published by Marvel Comics on November 25 of that year. The mention of the moon was included in a preview of the comic that was published on StarWars.com a week prior to the issue's release.[8]
