H'Grathi Nebulae

The H'Grathi Nebulae,^[1] also known as H'Grathi,^[3] was a nebula located in the Thrasybule sector of the Outer Rim^[1] and the New Territories.^[2] It was situated in grid square P-6 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[1] A winding hyperspace route led through H'Grathi, connecting to the planet Pandem Nai.^[3]

In 4 ABY,^[4] several weeks after the Battle of Endor, scouts from the New Republic frigate Hellion's Dare were spotted by the Galactic Empire on the route through H'Grathi, leading the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing—which had fortified on Pandem Nai—to send the cruiser-carrier Aerie to attack the frigate. When designing a plan for an attack on Pandem Nai and its Imperial forces, New Republic Intelligence agent Caern Adan presumed the path through H'Grathi was set with an early warning mechanism, ruling it out for possible use.^[3]

Behind the scenes

H'Grathi was first mentioned in Alphabet Squadron, a 2019 novel written by Alexander Freed as the first installment in the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy.^[3] It was later identified as the H'Grathi Nebulae in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com^[1] on June 24, 2025. Both works were authored by Jason Fry.^[5]
