Nysza III

OnALegendsArticle

"The Empire has begun construction on a communications bunker on Nysza III. Your orders are to destroy the bunker before it can be completed."
―Commander Beatonn, in a holomessage to Fable Astin[3]

Nysza III, also known as Nysza, was an Outer Rim Territories celestial body located in the Dalchon sector. At one point, the Galactic Empire began the construction of a communications bunker there. By 0 ABY, however, the Rebel Alliance Harrier Infiltration Team under the command of captain Fable Astin destroyed the structure.

Description

Nysza III,[3] also referred to simply as Nysza,[4] was a terrestrial celestial body[3] situated in the Nysza system of the Outer Rim Territories' Dalchon sector,[1] near the planet Iscera[4] of the Iscera system.[5]

History

Fable Astin led a Rebel Alliance mission to Nysza III.

Fable Astin led a Rebel Alliance mission to Nysza III.

At some point by 0 ABY,[6] the Galactic Empire began the construction of a communications bunker on Nysza III, with a garrison being established there.[3] By that year,[6] Commander Beatonn of the Rebel Alliance communicated via hologram with the Rebel Harrier Infiltration Team and its captain Fable Astin, tasking the team with destroying the Nysza III bunker before its completion.[3]

Although the mission was successful, it saw the death of the team's technical officer Arecelis Acosta. Astin and her fellow Rebel Deke Holman subsequently escaped the bunker—in the process being forced to dive into a construction tunnel full of stagnant water—and traveled to Iscera aboard their light freighter Prodigal. There, nearly seventeen hours after the completion of their objective, Astin deleted the stored message from Beatonn mentioning Nysza III. Not long thereafter, Astin—while still aboard the Prodigal—experienced a nightmare in which she relived a distorted version of the mission to Nysza III.[3]

Behind the scenes

Nysza III first appeared in a dream in the short story "Uhl Eharl Khoehng," which was written by Patricia A. Jackson and published in the November 1995 eighth issue of West End Games' Star Wars Adventure Journal magazine.[3] 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia introduced a shortened version of the celestial body's name,[4] and the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Nysza system, and therefore Nysza III, in grid square R-17.[2]
