Anoat system/Legends

"The Anoat system? There's not much there."

- Leia Organa

The Anoat system was a star system located between the Hoth and Bespin systems on the Ison Corridor, in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It contained three habitable but inhospitable planets: Anoat, Deyer, and Gentes, as well as Gente's moon Belsus.

History
The system was taken under Separatist control during the Clone Wars, due to an attack led by General Grievous. Grievous attacked Gentes, the Ugnaught homeworld, eager to take the Ugnaughts as factory laborers. On Belsus, he demonstrated his power to a group of Jedi Padawans by destroying the population of an entire Ugnaught city. Soon after, a Jedi strike force attempted to assassinate Grievous. During their battle with him, the thermal core of a geothermal plant went critical. The resultant explosions threatened the stability of the moon's surface. Nevertheless, Grievous survived.

The three planets were abandoned sometime before the Galactic Civil War. Toxic waste infected Anoat and the terraformed waterworld Deyer, forcing the populations to move offworld.

In 2 ABY, Rebel lieutenant Risiev Credal was supervising a routine patrol through the Anoat system and suddenly jumped to hyperspace without a warning, effectively disappearing. This led many to believe that Credal was a traitor.

In 3 ABY following the Battle of Hoth, the Millennium Falcon passed through this relatively deserted system while running from the Imperial Navy.

Anoat was repopulated at some point prior to the establishment of the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, as it was represented in the New Republic Senate.
