Ty Yorrick: "And where is it now?"
Tapel: "Returned to its lair on Temple Peak."
Ty Yorrick: "Temple?"
Layton Wyke: "This very mountain. I named it myself after a temple back home on Naratar."
―Ty Yorrick, the Wyke Town resident Tapel, and Layton Wyke discuss the Greta and the naming of Temple Peak[3]

Naratar was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] located in the Naratar system within the Wornal sector of[2] the Mid Rim. It was situated in grid square K-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] During the High Republic Era, Naratar was the homeworld of the human Layton Wyke and was the site of a temple.[3] By 231 BBY,[4] Wyke had left Naratar and established Wyke Town on the Galactic Frontier[3] planet[5] Loreth and named a mountain on the world, Temple Peak, after the temple on[3] his[5] homeworld.[3]

That year,[4] when speaking with the monster hunter Ty Yorrick about a[3] Greta[5] he had hired Yorrick to kill, Wyke told her of his naming of the mountain after the temple on Naratar. Afterward, the hunter's[3] protocol droid KL-03[6] checked records and discovered there were no mentions of a Jedi temple on Naratar. When she attempted to inform Yorrick of what she had learned, KL-03's signal broke up, cutting off her message.[3]
