Japeal was a terrestrial planet with a temperate climate situated on the Galactic Frontier. During the High Republic Era, its climate and plentiful water made it attractive to settlers, drawing in members of dozens of species who began constructing their own settlements, businesses, and infrastructure, including three orbital space stations. Because Japeal possessed communications equipment which allowed it to reach Coruscant quickly and was far away from the Starlight Beacon space station, Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro chose it as one of four planets he targeted for attacks intended to lure away the Jedi stationed at Starlight.[2]

This assumes that the name "Veragi Trade Route," as used in Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 37 Guide to the Galaxy: Visiting Dantooine, applies to the canon hyperspace route depicted on the map that matches the depiction of the Star Wars Legends route with the same name in The Essential Atlas per
Jason Fry (@jasoncfry.bsky.social.) on Bluesky (post on January 3, 2025): "They are indeed the same. Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).
