- "In the grave of Alderaan,
In the night of Charenthoth,
In the sands of Tatooine,
And the bloody hell of Hoth.
We will meet the enemy;
We will sound the battle-cry.
With our comrades at our sides,
We will fight and we will die. […]" - ―Battle Chant of the Legion of Alderaan
Charenthoth was a celestial body[2] located in the Charenthoth system, a part of the Slice portion of the Colonies.[1] During the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, the Battle Chant of the Alliance's Legion of Alderaan military unit mentioned the Rebels fighting the Imperial forces "in the night of Charenthoth," among other locales.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Charenthoth was first mentioned in Paul Murphy's 1990 The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, which was published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Charenthoth system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square N-9.[1]
