Pax was a world[5] located in the Pax system of the Kira sector,[3] a part of the Expansion Region[1] and the Trailing Sectors[2] in grid square N-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid. The hyperspace route known as the Hydian Way linked it to the Chardaan and ZeHeth systems[1] while the Enarc Run[4] connected it to Kira and Vondarc systems.[1] Around 9 ABY,[6] while the astronomer[7] Kh'ymm was searching her archive of worlds on the Observatory Moon in order to determine the potential location of the lost planet At Attin, Pax's name was listed on her computer screen among other worlds.[5]

Behind the scenes

Pax's name was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the "Guide to the Galaxy" section of the fourty-third issue of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[8] published around October 28, 2015,[9] and written by Mark Newbold.[10] Pax was first described as a distinct world in "Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem,"[5] the December 10, 2024[11] third episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.[12]

The Pax system was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity via the 1993 book Twin Stars of Kira, a supplement for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. In the book, the star system appeared in the roleplaying game adventure "Treasure Hunt," which was written by Todd Quigley and illustrated by Tim Eldred.[13]

This assumes that the name "Enarc Run," as used in StarWars.com Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Star Wars: The Force Awakens? on StarWars.com (article) (backup link), applies to the canon hyperspace route depicted on the map that matches the depiction of the Star Wars Legends route with the same name in The Essential Atlas per BlueskyLogo Jason Fry (@jasoncfry.bsky.social.) on Bluesky (post on January 3, 2025): "They are indeed the same. Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).

  6. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. StarWars.com SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
