Galtea system

The Galtea system was a star system positioned in the grid square M-21 of the Standard Galactic Grid, in the Kathol sector of the Western Reaches and the Outer Rim Territories, in a section of the Rim designated as the Galactic Frontier by the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. It contained the inhabited terrestrial object Galtea. In 230 BBY, the Nihil pirates raised a hyperspace travel-preventing barrier known as the Stormwall around area known as the Occlusion Zone, which contained the Galtea system.

In 229 BBY, Jedi Master Elzar Mann mentioned the beings trapped behind the Stormwall to the Republic Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh to motivate her to keep fighting against the Nihil, naming those living on Galtea as an example. Around 228 BBY, the Nihil surrendered to the Republic following the Stormwall's fall, dissolving the Occlusion Zone territory. Its worlds—including Galtea—were welcomed back into the Republic if they wished, though some remained independent or under the control of individual Nihil warlords.
