- "Imperial freighter, this is Governor Everi Chalis. If you do not adjust course within fifteen seconds, I will deal with you as I dealt with the crew of the Mandible during the Belnar Insurrections. That will be my gift to your superior, Commodore Krovis, before I have him tried for gross incompetence."
- ―Everi Chalis to the crew of an Imperial freighter
Belnar was an astronomical object situated at the coordinates M-9 within an intersecting portion of the Colonies[1] and the Interior regions.[2] It shared its name with the Belnar Insurrections,[3] which took place at some point by 3 ABY.[4] During the Belnar Insurrections, Everi Chalis, an emissary to the Galactic Empire's ruling council, punished the crew of the starship Mandible over an incident, executing those responsible.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Belnar was introduced in the current Star Wars canon via a mention of the Belnar Insurrections in the novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed[3] and published on November 3, 2015.[5] It was first established to have been a celestial body by the fifty-second issue of De Agostini's magazine series Star Wars: Build the Millenium Falcon,[6] released around December 30 of the same year.[7] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet[8] Belnar was first mentioned in Wanted by Cracken, a sourcebook written by Louis J. Prosperi for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and published in 1993.[9]
