"…blah, blah, sector 17: nothing remarkable, sector 18: nothing remarkable, sector 19: nothing—Hold up!"
―A Dug worker to themselves, while working on Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha[1]

Sector 19 was a region located within the Trymant system, a star system situated[1] in the Subterrel sector[2] of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches regions of the galaxy.[3] During the High Republic Era, the Galactic Republic satellite Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha monitored sector 19.[1]

In 232 BBY, the Great Hyperspace Disaster spurred Emergences—the reversion from hyperspace to realspace of debris from the destroyed Legacy Run freighter that then went on to strike celestial bodies throughout the galaxy.[4] At this time, a Dug worker on the satellite was reviewing their workstation, speaking to themselves while noting that neither sector 17, sector 18, or sector 19 had anything interesting of note. However, the Dug was quickly distracted upon noticing hyperspace debris entering the Trymant system around them and told their captain, who issued an evacuation order and alerted the Starlight Beacon space station.[1]

Behind the scenes

Sector 19 was first mentioned in the first issue of the 2021 comic series Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures,[1] released as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase I. The issue was written by Daniel José Older and published by IDW Publishing on February 3, 2021.[5] On November 17, 2020, a StarWars.com article announcing the comic series featured a preview that included the sector's mention.[6]
