Nixus (Haileap system)

Nixus was a gas giant located in the Haileap system of the Outer Rim Territories. It formed a double planet with the gas giant Neralus, and both were orbited by the moon Wevo. The system formed by the two planets and their natural satellite was noted in an almanac of planets composed by the Galactic Republic explorer Leric Schmireland around 532 BBY.

Three centuries later, the double planet was observed by the aspiring inventor Avon Starros from a shuttle aboard which she and a group of other individuals had escaped the destruction of the starship Steady Wing. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh then guessed that the planets were Neralus and Nixus, and Starros' protocol droid, J-6, later looked up information on the gas giants and Wevo in Schmireland's almanac.
