- "The densely feathered, long-tailed whisper bird lives in the rainforests of Yavin 4, although specimens have also been found on Null and Coruscant."
- ―From the journal of Ardis San Tekka
Null was an astronomical object[5] located in the Null system of the Trans-Vulta sector within the Mid Rim[1] and the New Territories[2] in square N-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The whisper bird, a species of bird native to[3] the Outer Rim[6] moon Yavin 4, could also be found on Null.[3]
Null was mentioned in an entry on whisper birds in an artist's journal, which was restored, expanded, and displayed by the Graf Archive[3] at some point no earlier than 34 ABY.[7][3] It also received mention in the whisper birds' entry in the journal of Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts Director of Creature Cartography Ardis San Tekka[4] at some point after the Battle of Exegol in 35 ABY.[8]
Behind the scenes
In the current Star Wars canon, Null was first mentioned on a map of the galaxy included in the 2016 Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game, a Star Wars Roleplaying product released by Fantasy Flight Games.[5] The world originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in the 2003 young-reader novel Legacy of the Jedi, which was written by Jude Watson and published as part of the Clone Wars multimedia project.[9] It was then depicted for the first time in the sixty-fifth issue of the Star Wars: Republic series of comic books, which was written by John Ostrander, illustrated by Jan Duursema, and published by Dark Horse Comics[10] on June 2, 2004.[11]
