Unidentified dead red moon

This barren planetoid lay in the Sixela system, in the Unknown Regions.

History
Six months after his exile from the Galactic Empire, Commander Rezi Soresh found this planetoid in the Sixela system. He then spent time converting it to his personal use to gain revenge for his exile.

He eventually captured a passenger liner full of 100 civilians to use as hostages to draw Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker to the system.

When the deadline passed, Skywalker arrived in the system, bringing reinforcements to stop Soresh. Anticipating treachery, Soresh used an impostor, who was gunned down by Han Solo. Skywalker and his companions were captured and were put into Soresh's compound. Soresh began brainwashing Skywalker, attempting to turn him into an assassin.

To redeem himself in the eyes of the Emperor, Soresh planned on destroying both the Rebel fleet and those who betrayed him. He drew an Imperial and Rebel fleet to his planetoid. He would then use resonance torpedoes to destroy the sun and everything else in the system. When the opposing fleets arrived, Skywalker betrayed Soresh and led his companions away. Before Soresh could escape, he was killed by Solo.

During the battle, the planetoid and everything else in the system were vaporized when the sun went supernova, including Soresh's body.
