Metatessu sector

The Metatessu sector was located in the Mid Rim Territories and was home to at least eight star systems. The near-human Chalactans were from the planet Chalacta in the sector. Another system in the Metatessu sector, the Redhurne system, eventually became a site for the mining of materials for hypermatter after a supernova cracked open its inner planets and exposed their cores to radiation from the collapsed star fragment that remained. In 3 ABY, the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry, also called Twilight Company, was present in the Metatessu sector, where forces of the Galactic Empire followed a trail of hypermatter left by the company's CR90 corvette Thunderstrike.

The Empire subsequently attacked Twilight Company in three different systems of the sector before the latter learned of the leak. The company then carried out a raid on an Imperial heavy freighter in the Redhurne system to gather resources needed to repair the Thunderstrike leak. Having been tracking the Thunderstrike, Imperial Captain Tabor Seitaron began discussing alternative measures, choosing to seek out other damaged rebel starships that had escaped fighting in the Metatessu sector.
