Rata Nebula

The Rata Nebula in the Unknown Regions was a nebula inside the core territory of the Chiss Ascendancy. It contained the Rhigar system, which was linked to the Csaus system by the hyperlane known as the Path of the Houses and to the Csilla and Colonial Station Chaf systems by another hyperspace route.

The Rhigar system contained a planet of the same name, which hosted a secret military academy operated by the Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo's Household Phalanx, a military group of the Empire of the Hand. The nebula's bluish-green haze was visible from Rhigar's surface.

In 19 ABY, Jagged Fel, a Human pilot stationed at Rhigar's academy, noted that rumors about the supposed return of Thrawn, a Chiss Grand Admiral of the Galactic Empire who had died ten years earlier, had recently spread throughout the Rata Nebula. The rumors resulted from a plot by the Imperial Remnant's Sinister Triumvirate of con artist Flim, Moff Vilim Disra, and the clone Grodan Tierce.
