"Apparently this part of space is known for causing hallucinations."

―Luke Skywalker

The Kathol Rift was an area of space inside the Kathol sector. It was difficult to maneuver through, as it consisted of a dense accretion of nebulaic material. It was home to both the Aing-Tii monks, who were able to easily navigate through it, and the DarkStryder. It was believed to be a construct of the Celestials, although another source had it as the result of a launch gate explosion caused by a Dark Jedi.

The Rift was known to induce hallucinations in those who traveled within the vicinity, with the effect often amplified in Force-sensitive beings. Common hallucinations included spiders and other arthropods.
