The Mirror-Spires of Ivexia[1] were a series of shining white towers with numerous reflective surfaces.[3] While trying to escape First Order forces[1] in 35 ABY,[4] Resistance pilot Poe Dameron jumped from the Crystal Chaos of Cardovyte to the spires,[1] with several TIE/wi Interceptors in pursuit.[3]
A readout on the Falcon identified the spires and the reflective surfaces made it difficult for Finn, a Resistance member aboard the Falcon, to tell how many starfighters were pursuing them and which towers were real and which only reflections. Dameron barely avoided a collision as several of the TIEs crashed, before jumping the Falcon again to the Typhonic Nebula.[3]
