Trymant IV

Trymant IV, or Trymant, was a terrestrial planet located in the Outer Rim Territories' Subterrel sector, within the Trymant system. The world was orbited by the moons Praknat 3, Korbatal, Ost Molkar, Taz Molkar, and Trymant III and had two suns, including the Trymant system's second sun. Trymant IV's heavily forested surface featured towering trees and abundant ground vegetation surrounded by numerous lakes, rivers, and an ocean. Around 237 BBY, the Elders of the Path religious group settled in Trymant IV's Bralanak City in a compound, and two of their young Disciples—Zeen Mrala and Krix Kamerat—came to regard the planet as their homeworld.

In 232 BBY, when the planet and its system were threatened by an Emergence—pieces of hyperspace debris from the Great Hyperspace Disaster—Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro resolved to save Elder Tromak from the world. However, the Nihil marauders encountered Jedi from the Padawan Academic Cruiser Star Hopper, who had been dispatched to the world to evacuate Bralanak City's residents. The Nihil and Jedi fought for control of the Nihil Spider Cruiser Squall Spider, which the latter hoped to commandeer to help civilians escape. Mrala used the Force to save the Padawans from a piece of firey debris headed toward them, but in doing so, she ostracized herself from her Force-condemning religious community. The Nihil, Tromak, and Kamerat fled the world together—despite Jedi Master Yoda's attempt to offer Kamerat a chance to leave—while Mrala joined her newfound Jedi colleagues aboard the Starlight Beacon space station.

Trymant IV's moon Praknat 3 was directly struck by a piece of hyperspace debris, resulting in the Trymant system's gravitational balance shifting and forcing the former planet closer to the system's second sun. As a result, the world's aboveground water sources evaporated and its surface vegetation died, leaving the world with a hot and dusty desert terrain despite attempts to find new underground water sources with Republic drill freighters. In 231 BBY, Jedi Master Kantam Sy, Padawan Lula Talisola, and Mrala returned to Trymant IV during their investigations into the Nihil and briefly met with the Elders of the Path's Elder Barbatash. Jedi Master Harli Cogra documented the Trymant IV disaster in the book Chronicles of the Jedi in 229 BBY, while records of the destruction of the system's moons remained available in databases by 3 ABY in the Imperial Era.
