Tessen

Tessen was a celestial body in the Tessen system of the Phelleem sector in the Outer Rim Territories and the Slice that fell within grid square S-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid. It was part of the Salin Corridor hyperspace route which connected it to the astronomical object Boonta and the planet Sy Myrth.

In 9 BBY, Imperial Forces tracked down a group of fugitives being protected by the Hidden Path on the world Jabiim—which was also located in grid square S-7—and forced them to flee offworld in a JT-731 Broadhorn transport without a functioning hyperdrive. While the transport was pursued by the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator, the Hidden Path's leader, Kawlan Roken, informed those on board that they would head for Tessen, where the Hidden Path would then get them to safety. The Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi then departed from the vessel alone in an escape craft, drawing off the Star Destroyer so that the transport could escape.
