Uviuy Exen was a world[5] located in the Uviuy Exen system of the Shwuy sector,[3] a part of the Colonies[1] and the Interior.[2] It was situated in grid square L-9 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The super-hyperroute[6] known as the Hydian Way linked Uviuy Exen to the Brentaal system in the Core Worlds as well as to the Inner Rim Territories' Champala system.[1] In addition, it was connected to Palanhi system by the Shwuy Exchange hyperspace route.[4] Around 9 ABY,[7] while the astronomer[8] Kh'ymm was searching her archive of worlds on the Observatory Moon in order to determine the potential location of the lost planet At Attin, Uviuy Exen's name was listed on her computer screen among other worlds.[5]

Behind the scenes

Uviuy Exen's name was introduced in the current Star Wars canon as a partially cut-off map label in "The History of Neimoidia,"[9] an article written by Mark Newbold[10] and included in the "Guide to the Galaxy" department of the fifty-second issue of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine[9] that was published around December 30, 2015.[11] The full name was then featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game, a 2016 Fantasy Flight Games' roleplaying game boxed set.[1]

Uviuy Exen was first described as a distinct world in "Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem,"[5] the December 10, 2024[12] third episode of the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.[13] Uviuy Exen was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the 1989 Imperial Sourcebook, written by Greg Gorden and published by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[14]

  7. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. StarWars.com SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
