"A hyperspace sinkhole is all that remains of the Waymancy bridal seat, and on a thousand Rim worlds the flag of the Republic flies high."

―Supreme Chancellor Nagratha^[1]

The Waymancy bridal seat was an object^[1] that shared its name with the Inner Rim's Waymancy system^[2] as well as the region known as the Waymancy Hollow, inside which the Sisters of the Machinesmith studied and improved upon Galactic Republic technology for a millennium leading up to 7811 BBY.^[1]

That year, the organization known as the Signatories of Waymancy fought the Republic in a conflict known as the Waymancy Storm. By the conclusion of the war, in which the Republic emerged victorious, the Waymancy bridal seat had been reduced to a hyperspace sinkhole. At a speech delivered on the 25th anniversary of Victory in the Waymancy Storm in 7786 BBY, the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Nagratha mentioned the destroyed object in a brief recount of the history of the conflict.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The Waymancy bridal seat was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart; however, the section that would have mentioned the object, authored by Daniel Wallace, was cut before the book's release. The information regarding the Waymancy bridal seat was later released in 2014 as part of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles published on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and^[1] Del Rey editor^[3] Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare.^[1]
