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

Flashpoint was an airless planet that orbited very close to its star, with a day lasting just one standard hour. Being so close to its star meant that the planet was bathed in stellar radiation and thus devoid of life. Before the Great Sith War, a protective magnetic field was set up and a research station established by scientists to study stars. In 3965 BBY, this station was seized by Mandalorian warriors as part of their invasion of Galactic Republic space. The Mandalorian scientist Demagol used the research station to experiment on Jedi in an attempt to discover the source of their powers, but the Mandalorian presence was later expunged from Flashpoint by fugitive Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick and his companions in 3964 BBY.
