- "You ought to meet Nankry, here. She was a guerrilla on the Perithal front... no support, no coordination, but she managed to slit the throat of her colony’s Separatist governor, waged something of a one-woman war."
- ―Saw Gerrera, to Soujen Vak-Nhalis
Perithal was a terrestrial astronomical object[2] in the Perithal system of the Inner Rim Territories[1] which the New Republic Senator Wyl Lark visited[3] around 11 ABY,[4] before he traveled over to Spirana to meet Yrica Quell and Chass na Chadic, who he had fought with as a New Republic pilot in the Galactic Civil War six years before.[3]
During the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, the guerrilla fighter Nankry fought the Confederacy on the Perithal front, at one point slitting the throat of her colony's Separatist governor. Nankry later joined Saw Gerrera's Partisans.[2]
Behind the scenes
Perithal was mentioned in the 2021 novel Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel, the last installment in the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy which was written by Alexander Freed.[3]

- ↑ The section of Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel where Wyl Lark went to Spirana from Perithal is set six years after the Galactic Civil War, which ended with the Battle of Jakku. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the battle to 5 ABY, Lark must have gone to Spirana in 11 ABY and so been on Perithal around that year.
