Occlusion Zone

OnACanonArticle

"I have deployed stormseeds throughout Nihil space, the sectors of the Outer Rim we will claim for our own."
―Marchion Ro[8]

The Occlusion Zone, also known as the Exclusion Zone,[4] the Free Sectors, the Liberated Worlds,[9] Nihil space[10] or Nihil territory,[4] sometimes abbreviated as the O. Z.,[3] was an area of space composed of ten sectors[4] located in the Galactic Frontier[10] within the Outer Rim Territories that was claimed by the Nihil[8] and sealed away behind a barrier[4] known as the Stormwall[3] in 230 BBY.[11] In 228 BBY,[12] in response to an assault on the Stormwall by the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic, Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro had the Occlusion Zone expanded to take more territory from the Republic, swallowing two entire sectors, several systems and planets, and bisecting the Seswenna sector just before reaching Eriadu.[3] Following the escape of Jedi Master Avar Kriss from the Occlusion Zone, Ro had the Stormwall expanded a number of times in a manner that seemed haphazard and unpredictable to the Republic and the Jedi. The Occlusion Zone eventually expanded to engulf most of the Chommell sector[1] of the Mid Rim,[13] including the planet Naboo.[1] At its height the Occlusion Zone contained nearly ten percent of Republic space.[14]

During the Battle of Eriadu[15] in 228 BBY,[16] the Nihil surrendered, ending the Nihil conflict and bringing the Occlusion Zone to an end.[15]

  12. ↑ The start of The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness dates itself to a year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 230 BBY. Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the events in The Eye of Darkness following the expansion must take place in 228 BBY as well.

The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1.

Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the expansion must have taken place in the same year. Meanwhile, the events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: No Big Deal" include the Stormwall's expansion and also depict the start of Pikka Adren's pregnancy. A later story, "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Sparks Fly," states that Adren is eight months pregnant during its events, indicating that it is set eight months after "No Big Deal," and therefore one year, eight months, and two weeks after the fall of Starlight Beacon. "Sparks Fly" is set during the Battle of Eriadu, an event that begins in The High Republic Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular. As StarWars.com Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic: Defy the Storm between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
