Sil Gohtta was an Outer Rim Territories[1] and Trailing Sectors[2] celestial body located in grid square Q-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauders formed the Occlusion Zone—an area of space situated behind the Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel to and from the rest of the Galactic Republic's territory.[5] Sil Gohtta fell within the former region.[1] Around 228 BBY,[6] the Nihil surrendered to the Republic following the Stormwall's fall, which dissolved the Occlusion Zone as a territory. Locations in the former Occlusion Zone were welcomed back into the Republic if they wished to re-join. Some of them, however, opted to retain their independence, while others remained under the control of individual Nihil warlords.[7]
Behind the scenes
Sil Gohtta was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in Pablo Hidalgo's 2025 reference book Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide.[1]
