Najra-Va

"This one's been cored perfectly."

- Kazuda Xiono

Najra-Va was a planet in the Dassal system of the Unknown Regions, orbited by an inhabited moon. Along with the other planets in the system, Najra-Va was cored out by the First Order, but otherwise remained intact.

Description
"What is that? Poe?" "Yeah, I see it. It's a gravity well."

- Kazuda Xiono and Poe Dameron

Located in the Dassal system of the Unknown Regions, Najra-Va was a rocky planet, orbited by an inhabited moon that was home to a village. After the First Order cored out the planets in the system, Najra-Va was left with a circular tunnel that covered its entire diameter. Despite having no matter in its core, a gravity well still existed in the center of the planet.

History
"Why would someone do this?" "Patience, kid. That's what we're gonna find out."

- Kazuda Xiono and Poe Dameron

During the cold war, the sun of the Dassal system disappeared, and its planets were cored out by the First Order as a test for Starkiller Base. Unlike the other planets in the system, which cracked and broke apart, Najra-Va remained mostly undamaged, aside from the massive hole that had been mined through its core, where a gravity well remained.

After retrieving intel from the First Order, the Resistance spy Kazuda Xiono learnt of their activity in the Dassal system. Informing Poe Dameron, the two pilots went to investigate the system. Discovering the cored and broken planets, they came across Najra-Va, flying through its core. Almost crashing their starships due to the gravity well, the pilots escaped through the other side of the planet, landing on its moon. Once the First Order were alerted to their presence by a probe droid, Dameron and Xiono were chased into Najra-Va's core by several TIE fighters led by Elrik Vonreg. The Resistance pilots used the gravity well to their advantage, causing the fighters to crash and forcing Vonreg to retreat, allowing them to escape.

Behind the scenes
Najra-Va first appeared in the Star Wars Resistance episode "The Core Problem," which aired on February 17, 2019. It was later identified in the Databank entry for the Dassal system.
