Tolonda sector

The Tolonda sector was a sector in the Outer Rim Territories and the Trailing Sectors that bordered the Lol and Pelgrin sectors. It contained the Branteez, Changa, Exu Prime, Goshyn, Julsujod, Krmar, Odona, Oshora, Pontus, and Tamra systems. During the High Republic Era, the sector fell within the Galactic Republic's Galactic Frontier exploration region. The Tolonda sector became part of the Occlusion Zone following its formation in 230 BBY as one of ten sectors sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel. During this time, the Jedi Master Porter Engle ambushed a Nihil patrol on the Tolonda sector astronomical object Exu Prime and stole their shuttle. In 228 BBY, the Stormwall's fall dissolved the Occlusion Zone.

By the Imperial Era, the Tolonda sector planet Odona had long been used by pirates and smugglers to avoid the Galactic Empire due to its extremely frigid climate and secret alcoves. At one point, the smuggler Han Solo left the criminal Frax for dead in Odona's Cordaxian Sea to escape from Imperial TIE fighters with his ship's payload—two tons of Cordaxian ore. Between 0 ABY and 3 ABY, Solo and Princess Leia Organa went on a mission to Odona to search for a suitable location for a new rebel base for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. When Solo was pursued by revenge-bent Frax, Organa managed to rescue him, and the pair subsequently departed Odona with rebel assistance after nearly freezing to death.
