Trans-Jardeen sector

The Trans-Jardeen sector lay in the Expansion Region and contained the Jardeen system and the Pioku system.^[1] The Jardeen system contained the planet Jardeen IV, the site of the Imperial Army training center^[3] that was used by the Galactic Empire for teaching the tactics of utilizing walkers in combat.^[4] The Pioku system shared its name with the conflict known as the Pioku Border Wars.^[5]

By 0 ABY, the Trans-Jardeen sector bordered the Great Agash sector northward and the Extorin sector and the Cantons of Lahag westward. It also formed a four-way border with the Arc d'Stot, Chitarghar, and Vatha sectors eastward, as well as another four-way border with the Har Worlds, the Piryn Shar sector, and the Vatha sector southward.^[2] Shortly after the Battle of Endor^[3] in 4 ABY,^[6] General Arndall Lott and Captain Iolan Gendarr of the Imperial Star Destroyer Reliance, both stationed on Jardeen IV, fled the planet before the arrival of New Republic forces.^[3]
