Nexus Route/Legends

The Nexus Route was a secret hyperspace lane between the heart of the Republic and Confederate home worlds. The route was a strategic interest to both sides sometime during the Clone Wars, as it would have allowed either side to infiltrate each other's territories with ease. The coordinates of the Nexus Route were discovered by Jedi Master Even Piell shortly before he was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and transported to the Citadel prison to be tortured for the details of the route. Piell had erased the coordinates from his ship's computer before his capture, and memorized half of them with the other half memorized by his captain, Wilhuff Tarkin.
