Thannt

OnACanonArticle

"Ever heard of a pluripleq? Fascinating little beast. Bioengineered. Only a few ever made. I stole one on Thannt."
―Cornelius Evazan, to Doctor Chelli Aphra[4]

Thannt was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] in the Ryndellian sector's Thannt system within the Mid Rim Territories[1] and Trailing Sectors regions.[2] Situated at the coordinates O-17 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it was where a biofarm was based.[3] At some point between 0 BBY and around 1 ABY,[5] the notorious doctor and smuggler[6] Cornelius Evazan infiltrated the biofarm[3] and stole a pluripleq, a bioengineered creature with shape-shifting abilities which he used to pose as a shapeshifter named "Lopset Yas."[4] The vigilante Tam Posla, who was hunting Evazan, learned of the infiltration on Thannt but eventually lost the doctor's trail for a month. Posla concluded that his target was either dead or imprisoned; all the while Evazan was[3] under his pluripleq-induced identity[4] aboard the wreckage-prison Accresker Jail.[3]

  5. ↑ Doctor Aphra (2016) 22 establishes that Cornelius Evazan's infiltration of the biofarm on Thannt took place after his scuffle on Tatooine that is depicted in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Doctor Aphra (2016) 22 to around 1 ABY and the events of A New Hope to what Star Wars: Galactic Atlas identifies as 0 BBY. Therefore, Evazan's infiltration must have occurred between 0 BBY and around 1 ABY.
