"The Corellian Trade Spine has reopened after the Bureau of Ships and Services cleared out debris near Kirtarkin. While the disruption only lasted a few days, the economic cost of the incident is still being calculated."

Kirtarkin was a planet[7] located in the Kirtarkin system[3] of the Anoat sector, in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.[1] The Galactic Empire had several depots on Kirtarkin that contained large recycling centers, though they were too late to save the world's polluted environment.[5]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars: Uprising. 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.

During the Iron Blockade, which was established by the Empire in an attempt to prevent news of their crushing defeat by the Alliance to Restore the Republic at the Battle of Endor from reaching the Anoat sector's populace,[7] the Smuggler sent members of their crew on missions to Kirtarkin to complete various tasks, including searching through the Imperials' recycling for loot,[5] liberating an informant from Imperial custody at the request of their associates before they could be interrogated,[8] and finding a thief who stole Morodin-fertilized aleudrupe berries from Trade Spine League holdings on Kirtarkin.[9]

Assumption ends here.

Behind the scenes

Kirtarkin was originally created for the Star Wars Legends web article "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," which was written by Jason Fry, Daniel Wallace and Craig Robert Carey for Wizards of the Coast and released in 2004.[10] It became canon when it was mentioned in the action role-playing game Star Wars: Uprising, which was developed by Kabam for iOS and Android platforms[7] and released on September 10, 2015.[11]
