The Relik moons[3] were located in the Relik system within the Steniplis sector of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches,[2] situated in grid square L-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1]
In 382 BBY,[4] two months into a tour of the Outer Rim, Jedi Knight Azlin Rell and his astromech droid, C-9, visited the Relik moons. C-9 identified a strangely charged alloy on one of the moons, which it used to craft itself a new manipulator arm. The arm was highly sensitive to electromagnetic fields, allowing C-9 to occasionally be more perceptive than its master, leading the droid to suggest its new appendage be called its "Jedi hat."[3]
That year,[4] Rell recalled his and C-9's time on one of the moons while investigating the compound of the Path of the Open Hand cult on the Outer Rim planet Dalna for Jedi Master Zallah Macri and Jedi Padawan Kevmo Zink, who the Jedi Order had lost contact with.[3]
