Raspar-6

Raspar-6 was a moon in the Raspar system, located in the Tragan Cluster within the Outer Rim Territories. It was once the site of a large-scale atomic blast, which was so significant that it impacted the atmosphere of a nearby celestial body during the month of Stolivea on that object's calendar.

The effects on The West Fissure, a region in the aforementioned heavenly body, were expected to be the spreading of a phenomenon known as talking fogs into hollows and low valleys, as well as generating irrational echoes, heavy rain and eruption of snow in lower elevations. Weather forecasts on the celestial object advised composting and for dust farmers to take up hydroponics in fribulation tanks during this period.

Behind the scenes


The natural satellite Raspar-6 was mentioned in a one-page weather forecast titled "Region 29: The West Fissure," written by Bob Carrau for the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that combines creature designs and photographs from various George Lucas projects with original text by Carrau. Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in the book is non-canonical.

Sixteen years later, the moon's system was created and included in The Essential Atlas, a third-generation Essential Guide written by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace and published by Del Rey in August 2009. The book placed the system in the Outer Rim Territories, within the Tragan Cluster at the grid coordinates M-5. Fry has stated that "planets not assigned a system in published source can be assumed to reside in system of same name." This article assumes the same applies for moons.
