Anza[3] was a fiery red star[4] located in the Abregado system[2] of the galaxy's Core Worlds that was orbited by the planet Abregado-rae, both of which were located in the grid square K-13[1] of the Standard Galactic Grid.[5]
In 22 BBY,[6] it was the site of the Battle of Abregado during the Clone Wars, where the Separatist Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence single-handedly annihilated an entire Republic fleet. The battle resulted in the formation of a debris field, comprised of starship wreckage, in orbit of Anza.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In the new Star Wars canon, the star of the Abregado system was created for "Rising Malevolence,"[2] the second episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season, which originally aired on October 3, 2008.[7] However, it first appeared in the opening newsreel of "Ambush," the first episode of the season[8] that also aired on the same day.[9]
The star Anza was originally introduced in Coruscant and the Core Worlds, a 2003 Star Wars Legends sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.[10] The name was brought into canon by the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia.[3]
