Malastare Narrows

Malastare Narrows was a location on the planet Malastare in the Mid Rim Territories. In 34 BBY, prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, a Corporate Alliance fleet commanded by the Harch Admiral Trench had formed a blockade around Malastare.

The Republic then dispatched a fleet of starships to break Trench's blockade and destroy his fleet, but were pushed back several times with significant losses sustained. Afterward, the matters were resolved when a task force led by Jedi Master Kep-She destroyed Trench's flagship. The outcome led to presumptions of the Harch's death, including by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. However, Trench was discovered to have survived the battle, as he led a Separatist blockade at the Battle of Christophsis during the Clone Wars in 22 BBY.
