"The Nihil have struck in the heart of the Mid Rim. Where next? Ubrikkia? Gizer? Coruscant?"
―Tia Toon[5]

Ubrikkia was a Mid Rim celestial body that shared its name with several companies. During the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Nihil marauders, the Republic Defense Coalition wrestled Ubrikkia from Hutt Cartel control.

Description

"Final boarding call for Haidoral Prime, Ubrikkia, and points beyond."
―A coordinator at Mirogana Spaceport — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[6]
Ubrikkia shared its name with the Ubrikkian 9,000 landspeeder model.

Ubrikkia shared its name with the Ubrikkian 9,000 landspeeder model.

Ubrikkia was an astronomical object[5] located in the Ubrikkia system of the Kastolar sector, known as the Mid Rim Territories[1] and the Slice.[2] It was also situated in the grid square Q-10 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The Ootmian Pabol[3] hyperspace route linked Ubrikkia to the Haidoral Prime and Randon systems.[7]

Ubrikkia shared its name with the companies Ubrikkian, which operated a factory on the Core Worlds planet Corellia;[8] Ubrikkian Industries; Ubrikkian Ord Pedrovia; and Ubrikkian Transports,[9] as well as the Ubrikkian 9,000 landspeeder model[10] and the Ubrikkian enclave, which was one among a number of major shipyards and drydocks the Galactic Empire was maintaining[11] by 3 ABY[12] and which was situated in the Ubrikkia system.[11]

History

"With all due respect, Jedi Master Mann, the Hutts are losing ground daily. The R.D.C. has retaken both Ubrikkia and Ookbat in recent days, with Cols expected in a matter of weeks."
―Velko Jahen, to Elzar Mann[4]

In 231 BBY,[13] after the marauders known as the Nihil attacked the shipyards of the Mid Rim planet Cyclor, Galactic Republic Senator Tia Toon stressed to Republic Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh the critical importance of the attack by rhetorically inquiring whether the raiders would target Ubrikkia next.[5] As part of the Republic's conflict against the Nihil and their Hutt Clan allies[4] in 228 BBY,[14] the Republic Defense Coalition recaptured Ubrikkia from Hutt control, a fact that Republic Commander Velko Jahen notified Jedi Master Elzar Mann about not long afterward.[4] Ubrikkia was a destination for a transport at Mirogana Spaceport on the Outer Rim Territories moon Toshara[6] in 3 ABY,[15] with a coordinator at the spaceport announcing departures to it.[6]

Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).

The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, it must be set in 228 BBY. Finally, The High Republic: Tempest Breaker establishes that the events of the comic series Star Wars: The High Republic (2023), which includes its first issue, occur concurrently to those of Temptation of the Force, meaning that the comic series must be set in the same year, as well.
