Unidentified dead moon

A terrestrial dead moon was located in the Nihil pirates' Occlusion Zone region of space during the High Republic Era. By 228 BBY, a starfighter belonging to San Tekka clan member Cair San Tekka had been left on the moon's dark side.

That year, before heading to the Mid Rim's Chommell sector planet Naboo, San Tekka traveled to the moon in his shuttle, the Brightbird. After leaving the vessel on the moon's dark side, San Tekka left in his fighter, which he piloted to the Chommell sector planet Jafan. After eventually arriving on Naboo, San Tekka recalled his visit to the dead moon.

Around 228 BBY, the Nihil surrendered to the Galactic Republic following the Stormwall hyperspace barrier's fall, which dissolved the Occlusion Zone as a territory. The worlds of the Occlusion Zone, including the dead moon, were welcomed back into the Republic if they wished. However, some opted to retain their independence, while others remained under the control of individual Nihil warlords.
