Description

The Ta'klah system was a star system in the Outer Rim Territories^[1] and Western Reaches^[2] that contained the terrestrial astronomical object Ta'klah.^[3] It was part of the Jjannex sector and lay in grid square L-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[1]

History

In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster^[3] in 232 BBY,^[4] one of a series of debris fallout incidents known as the Emergences appeared above Ta'klah. As debris began to fall on a settlement on Ta'klah, its residents began to panic. Multiple Jedi Vectors arrived above the settlement, and Jedi Master Stellan Gios leapt from^[3] his^[5] to assist a child, who he picked up before using the Force to shield them from debris. Gios then assured the people of Ta'klah that help was coming and ordered them to take shelter. When one resident thanked Gios, he reassured them and again urged them to take shelter.^[3]

As a result of the disaster, flames engulfed the settlement and destroyed it. After, at least some of Ta'klah's inhabitants were relocated to^[3] the Jjannex sector^[5] planet Banchii. The final group of settlers, among which were the farmer Kooba and the Nihil spy Zaret, was taken to Banchii aboard a Jedi transportation ship by Jedi Master Arkoff and Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi.^[3]

Inhabitants

Before the Great Hyperspace Disaster, humans, including Kooba, inhabited Ta'klah. Its residents spoke Galactic Basic Standard.^[1]
