DarkNet

"The Rebellion just leaked it on the DarkNet&mdash;it's getting play all over the place."

- Okkul shows Lando Calrissian the leaked footage of the Battle of Yavin

The DarkNet was a communications system used during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebel Alliance leaked a footage of the space battle over the planet Yavin on the DarkNet, which displayed the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire's moon-sized planet-killing battle station. As the leaked footage spread quickly, the famous smuggler Lando Calrissian too watched the footage, and was surprised to see his old starship, the Millennium Falcon, participating the battle.

Behind the scenes
The DarkNet was first mentioned in "The Angle," a short story written by Charles Soule and released on October 3, 2017 as part of the short story anthology From a Certain Point of View.
