- "It might be nothing, but I was talking to a Battrach gunrunner at Port Lennax. He heard that the Jays who fought the Drengir were working with a Hutt."
- ―Keeve Trennis, to Zeetar
Port Lennax was an astronomical object in the Port Lennax system of the Outer Rim's Ojoster sector. In 231 BBY, Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis claimed to have been at Port Lennax during an attempt to keep the Hutt Myarga Anjiliac Atirue—a former ally—alive while the Jedi Knight infiltrated the Nihil marauder organization in order to discover the Nihil leader's identity.
Description
Port Lennax was an astronomical object[1] in the Port Lennax system within the Ojoster sector of[3] the Outer Rim[1] and New Territories.[2] It was situated in grid square N-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1]
History
When infiltrating the Nihil, Keeve Trennis (pictured) claimed to have visited Port Lennax.
In 231 BBY,[5] during the High Republic Era, Jedi Knights[6] Keeve Trennis and Terec infiltrated the Nihil[4] marauder organization[6] as part of the Jedi Order's attempts to learn the identity of the Nihil's leader during their ongoing conflict. While the two Jedi were on the Outer Rim[4] planet[7] Xais, they encountered the Hutt[4] Myarga Anjiliac Atirue[6]—a former ally of theirs—who had been taken prisoner by the Nihil.[4]
In order for Trennis to prove her loyalty to the Nihil, she was tasked by Tempest Runner Zeetar with killing Myarga but instead secretly worked to keep her alive as long as possible. Trennis asked Zeetar where the Hutt had been captured and learned it had been on the edge of Wild Space. With this information, she lied to the Tempest Runner by stating that she had been at Port Lennax and informed by a Battrach gunrunner that the Jedi Order had fought the Drengir[4]—sentient carnivorous plants[6]—alongside a Hutt. Trennis then suggested the Hutt may have been Myarga, noting that she could know a number of Jedi secrets and that they should find out but kill her after if the interrogation was not successful. Zeetar allowed Trennis to interrogate Myarga, who ultimately blew the two Jedi's cover.[4]
