"The course primarily sticks to major waterways around Nashal and therefore is impractical for mount or foot racing. On a hover vehicle, it is considered a delightful afternoon outing."
―The Nashal River Race coordinator, to a pilot[1]

The Mephyt River, also known as the Krisa River, was a river located on the planet of Talus. The city of Nashal was built along its banks.[1]

Notable portions of the river included the Narrows, the Virrago Bend, Garva's Turn, the Quid Embankment and the Fed-Dub Stretch. This waterway met with other rivers at Xahn's Crossing and at the Deep Run confluences. The Krisa River was used as a racetrack for the Nashal River Race.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Mephyt River first appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Its name was revealed in the description of the city of Nashal that was shown to players on the screen that allowed them to choose the starting location for a new character.[4] These description texts were removed when Mos Eisley was made the starting city for all players with the release of the "Publish 17" on May 26, 2005.[5] However, in the same game, the river in Nashal was identified as the Krisa River during the Nashal River Race.[1]
