- "I know why a slave revolt on Kashyyyk spells doom for outposts along the Kathol Rift, and why General Veers can't afford another thorilide shortage along the Rimma."
- ―Everi Chalis, to Micha Evon
The Kathol Rift was a region of space where multiple outposts were located,[1] sharing its name with the Kathol sector.[2] Around 19 BBY,[3] a woman gave the Separatist operative Soujen Vak-Nhalis chain codes, an identichip, credits, and accessories, as part of a disguise to help him escape the planet Li'eta while posing as a pilgrim headed to the Kathol Rift.[4]
According to Everi Chalis, the Imperial governor of the planet Haidoral Prime, a revolt of enslaved individuals on[1] the planet[5] Kashyyyk would cause serious problems for the outposts. After defecting to the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry[1] in 3 ABY,[6] she shared her theory involving the Kathol Rift with Captain Micha Evon and some of his colleagues aboard the company's CR90 corvette, the Thunderstrike.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Kathol Rift was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in the 2015 novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed.[1] It was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity via The DarkStryder Campaign, a series of sourcebooks for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The Kathol Rift was first mentioned in the debut boxed set The DarkStryder Campaign[7] on July 17, 1995.[8] The region's first proper appearance was in the roleplaying game adventures "Little Empires," "Wildfire," "The Masters of Exocron," and "Galaxy's Edge," which were included in the series' second supplement The Kathol Outback,[9] released on January 15, 1996.[10]
