- "Wow, this place lives up to its reputation."
"Too bad no one can figure out how it works, or how to move it. We could sure use something like that."
"It would make a great site for a base, except for the fact that every pirate in the sector knows about it."
"Yeah, I just hope nobody else got here first." - ―Sian Tesar, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo
This unidentified planet was located in the Far Xandil sector,[1] within the Trailing Sectors portion of[2] the Mid Rim.[1] It was orbited by two small moons.[3]
The planet was the location of a ruined city that emanated a sensor disruption field known as Rethel Point. The field spread across most of the planet, growing slightly weaker the farther it stretched from the ruins of the city, and ended just before reaching the orbital paths of the moons. It was rumored that a sentient species, the Rethel, had built the city at one time long before 2 ABY. However, the ruins were so old, with so little evidence left behind by the builders, that the idea that their name had somehow survived was hard to believe.[3]
