The Ocktai system was a star system situated in the Outer Rim Territories' Kriz sector. In 230 BBY, several Jedi carried out raids orchestrated by Jedi Master Avar Kriss. The starship of rogue Nihil marauders Nan and Chancey Yarrow was discovered by the Jedi near the Nihil fleet in the system. After their ties to the organization were revealed, the pair was transported out of the Ocktai system to the space station Starlight Beacon.
Description
The Ocktai system was a star system[4] located in the Kriz sector[3] of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Western Reaches.[2] It was situated in grid square K-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid. The Corellian Trade Spine hyperspace route connected the system to[1] the worlds[5][6] Isde Naha and Tharnaka.[1]
History
Nan (pictured) drew a blaster on the Jedi she and Chancey Yarrow encountered in the Ocktai system.
During the High Republic Era, a fleet of Nihil marauders was situated in the Ocktai system.[4] In 230 BBY,[7] a number of Jedi, including Jedi Knight Regald Coll, carried out raids in the system orchestrated by Jedi Master Avar Kriss as part of the Jedi Order's action against the Nihil.[4]
The starship of the rogue Nihil Nan and Chancey Yarrow was discovered by the Jedi near the marauder fleet in the system, but as the vessel was not a definitive part of the group, the Jedi expected to merely question the pair. However, Nan pulled a blaster upon encountering the Jedi, resulting in their ties to the Nihil being exposed. Despite their claims that they were no longer part of the Nihil, the two were taken prisoner and transported from the Ocktai system to the space station Starlight Beacon aboard a Longbeam cruiser.[4]
Behind the scenes
The Ocktai system was first mentioned in the 2022 novel The High Republic: The Fallen Star, written by Claudia Gray[4] as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase I.[8]
