"He's from Minashee, at least originally."
―Dooku, while referring to Sifo-Dyas — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[3]

Minashee was located in the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the New Territories,[2] within the Tadrin sector, which was a subsector of the Cassander sector[1] and thus was part of the Cassandran Worlds.[4] It was situated in grid square K-5 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1]

It was the homeworld of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas and of his father, who worked as a fisherman. While recording a holo-letter for his sister, Jenza, Jedi Initiate Dooku mentioned that Sifo-Dyas was from Minashee.[3] Around 23 BBY,[5] Dooku gave several data disks containing his messages to Jenza to his recently recruited Sith assassin—Asajj Ventress—for her investigation into his sister's location, and she listened to the message that mentioned the Minashee.[3]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, Sifo-Dyas's homeworld was first mentioned the 2015 reference book Ultimate Star Wars.[6] It was then identified as Minashee by the audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost, which was written by Cavan Scott[3] and published on April 30, 2019.[7] The spelling was confirmed in the script release of the audiobook[8] on October 1 of the same year.[7] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, planet Minashee was first mentioned in Planets of the Galaxy, Volume Two, a Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game book written by John Terra and published by West End Games in 1992.[9]
