- "They are gentle giants with little technology, preferring to stay on their watery homeworld."
- ―An artist's journal entry on the Octeroids
Octero IV was a watery Outer Rim Territories astronomical object. It was home to the Octeroid species, members of which needed to use breathing apparatuses when traveling off-world. The smuggler Glaucus hailed from Octero IV.
Description
- "For those who have chosen to explore the galaxy, a breathing apparatus has been developed so they can survive in foreign atmospheres."
- ―An artist's journal entry on the Octeroids
Octero IV was a watery celestial body[5] located in the Octero system of the Portmoak sector,[3] a part of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Trailing Sectors.[2] It was situated in grid square P-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid, and the hyperspace route[1] known as the Llanic Spice Run[4] connected it to the Gold and Vorlag systems.[1]
History
The Octeroid smuggler Glaucus[6] hailed from Octero IV, a fact that was noted in the posting of a bounty issued for[7] him[6] by the time of the First Order occupation of the planet Batuu[7] in 34 ABY.[8] At one point, Octero IV was also mentioned in an entry of an artist's journal dedicated to the Octeroids. The journal was restored, expanded, and displayed at the Graf Archive[5] at some point no earlier than 34 ABY.[9]
Inhabitants
- "The aquatic Octeroids are known galaxywide for their striking appearance and simple lifestyle."
- ―An entry of an artist's journal
Octero IV was the homeworld of the aquatic, sentient Octeroid species, who generally led a simple lifestyle and preferred to lead their lives there as opposed to off-world. Those Octeroids who did leave Octero IV used a breathing apparatus to cope with foreign atmospheres.[5]
Behind the scenes
Octero IV was introduced in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Alien Archive by Natalie Clubb and Katrina Pallant.[5]
