Kathol Rift

The Kathol Rift was a nebula located in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was difficult to maneuver through, as it consisted of a dense accretion of nebulaic material. It was home to both the Aing-Tii monks, who were able to easily navigate through it, and the DarkStryder. It was believed to be a construct of the Celestials,^[1] although another source had it as the result of a launch gate explosion caused by a Dark Jedi.^[3]

The Rift was known to induce hallucinations in those who traveled within the vicinity, with the effect often amplified in Force-sensitive beings. Common hallucinations included spiders and other arthropods.
