Sector 3 - 2A
Sector 3 - 2A
Contains the Pyria System.
------------
Pyria System
Located only hours from the Mirit and Venjagga systems at the edge of the Galactic Core, the Pyria system contains Borleias as its fourth planet. Borleias, the system's only inhabited world,
was the base of operations for General Evir Derricote, commander of Imperial forces in the Pyria system.
Blackmoon
Covered with frozen lava tubes and rocky fissures, this moon of Borleias has no native lifeforms.
Borleias
The fourth planet in the Pyria system, Borleias is a steamy, blue-green world with a single dark moon, which gives the system its Alliance codename of Blackmoon. The only inhabited world in
the system, Borleias lacks most valuable natural resources and passes through a dense meteor shower once each year. The density of Borleias' sector of space means that there are only a limited number of hyperspace routes to and from the world, but it still sits at a favorable hyperspace crossroads. The planet's barren moon has a thin atmosphere and is covered with silent craters, frozen lava tubes, and canyons of black volcanic rock.
The Old Republic first established a small base on Borleias for the purpose of plotting runs to the Corporate Sector and elsewhere. The Alderaan Biotics hydroponics facility, a producer of Alderaanian foodstuffs, was also built on Borleias' far side, but over the years it was abandoned and left to the care of maintenance droids. The Empire eventually took control of the Republic base, adding shields, ion cannons, and TIE squadrons for its defense. The installation's commander, General Evir Derricote, also discovered the forgotten Biotics facility and made it profitable once more, while secretly siphoning Imperial credits and resources to make his headquarters more powerful and secure than it would otherwise appear to be. Because of the
Pyria system's close proximity to the galactic core, the Rebel Alliance chose to capture Borleias and make it their key to hitting Coruscant, some three years after the Battle of Endor. During their first attack, however, the Alliance greatly underestimated the defensive strength of the Blackmoon
installation and were soundly defeated. On the return mission, Rogue Squadron pilots torpedoed a power conduit at the end of a rift valley to help bring down the base's shields, while a
commando team captured the facility from the ground. This attack was a success, and Borleias became the new operations and staging base for Rogue Squadron.
Dandalas
A planet in the Farlax Sector.
Orinackra
Home to a high-security Imperial Detention Center. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance agent
Kyle Katarn infiltrated the Orinackra prison and rescued the captured spy Crix Madine.
------------
Venjagga System
The Venjagga system is located at the edge of the Galactic Core, only hours away from the Mirit and Pyria systems. The system contains the planet Jagga-Two, site of a small Imperial base that
manufactures concussion missiles and supplies the Imperial Star Destroyer-II Eviscerator. The seventh planet in the system is a gas giant. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, the
Alliance staged a feint in the Venjagga system to cover their simultaneous assault on Borleias in the Pyria system.
Jagga
the star of the Venjagga System.
Jagga II
Located in the Venjagga system at the edge of the Galactic Core, Jagga-Two was the site of an Imperial base. The base manufactures a supply of concussion missiles and supports the Imperial Star Destroyer-II Eviscerator, which is stationed in the system to protect the missile output. Some three years after the Battle of Endor, the Alliance staged a feint in on Jagga-Two to cover
their simultaneous assault on Borleias in the nearby Pyria system.
Nanta-Ri
This planet, located in the Venjagga System of the Farlax Sector near the Cluster. Chief of State Leia Solo Organa sent two cruisers from the Fourth Fleet to help defend it against Yevethan agression twelve years after the Battle of Endor.
