"The last time I saw Evereni, it was a pair of them. On a station off Pantora."
―A human[1]

During the High Republic Era, a space station orbited[1] the moon[2] Pantora.[1] It was located in grid square P-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid[4] as part of the Pantora system of the Sujimis sector in the Outer Rim Territories[2] and the Trailing Sectors.[3]

Around 382 BBY,[5] a human was aboard the station and spotted a pair of Evereni. Around a year later, he was present in a public house in the oldest settlement on the planet Dantooine where he was questioned by Marda Ro—the Evereni[1] founder of a marauder group that would eventually become the Nihil[6]—during her[7] search for others of her species. The human told her about the Evereni he had seen on the station.[1]

Later, Ro mentioned the facility in a journal entry she recorded for her descendants.[1] By 252 BBY,[8] during his youth, Ro's great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to her journal, including the message where the space dock was mentioned.[7]

Behind the scenes

The space station was mentioned in a flashback in the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," written by Tessa Gratton and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[1]

Per "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," the human aboard the space station off Pantora saw Evereni around a year prior to Ro's visit to Dantooine and therefore around 382 BBY as well.
