"Kiran Tatch just about got me and some fellow operatives killed about a year ago in the Xorao system."
―Anson Blazer, personal addendum to Rebel Task Force on Alliance Security SecuriDex file on Kiran Tatch[3]

The Xorao system was a part of the Mezeg sector[1] in the New Territories portion of[2] the Mid Rim.[1] Around 1 ABY,[4] a team of Rebel Alliance operatives, including the Human agent Anson Blazer, conducted low-level infiltration assignments in the Xorao system as part of its investigation of the criminal group known as the Kalstan gangsters.[3]

The team was discovered by Kiran Tatch, a Tunroth member of the Tunroth Hunters cultural group who was not affiliated with the gangsters in any way. Nevertheless, Tatch immediately reported the Rebels, leading to them being pursued. The Alliance operatives were forced to abandon both their operation and a significant stockpile of valuable equipment, and they were nearly killed but ultimately managed to escape. Approximately one year later, Blazer mentioned the incident in a personal addendum to a Task Force on Alliance Security SecuriDex datafile on Tatch.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Xorao system was first mentioned in Alliance Intelligence Reports, a 1995 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas subsequently placed it in grid square M-7.[2]
