Gunninga Gap

Legends Canon version → Linked from 9 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Gunninga Gap was a spatial fissure within the Unknown Regions. The interstellar space of the Gap blossomed with drifting moon trees, among which the followers of a death cult known as the Knell of Muspilli had found their sanctuary. The cultists believed they possessed the power to summon apocalyptic deities from the realm beyond shadows. To achieve this, they transcribed the Taurannik Codex, hoping to perform a ritual and open the Gap.

Many millennia later, during the era of the Galactic Empire, the dark side adept Cronal explored the Unknown Regions, seeking knowledge that would grant him ultimate power. Within the Gunninga Gap, Cronal discovered scraps of the Codex, destroyed long ago during the ancient cataclysm, but he encountered no followers of the Knell of Muspilli, which might have indicated that the place had long since fallen into desolation.
