Talcene

Talcene was a planet^[3] located in the Talcene system, a part of the Talcene sector of the Mid Rim.^[1] It was connected to the Orleon and Salvara systems by the Perlemian Trade Route super-hyperroute, which served as a dividing line between the regions known as the Slice and the Trans-Hydian. Talcene shared its name with the Talcene Transit, a hyperspace route linking the Perlemian Trade Route to^[2] the Suolriep sector's^[4] Saleucami system.^[2] The planet's surface featured cityscape.^[3]

Talcene was home to notoriously competitive industrial guilds. The Human Shea Hublin,^[3] who was born around 35 BBY,^[5] grew up on Talcene. As a boy, he raced swoop bikes, and, during his teenage years, Hublin made a good living as a courier for Talcene's industrial guilds.^[3] Around 19 BBY,^[5] at the age of sixteen, he joined the navy of the Galactic Republic, and his eventual service in the naval forces of the Republic's successor, the Galactic Empire, involved assignments offworld.^[3]
