Kligson's Moon was a moon located in a sector[2] with a droid station known as the Haven in orbit of it. For millennium, the Kligson clan safeguarded the station, and the moon bore the clan's name.[3] At some point the droid Ajax Sigma was created on the moon,[2] eventually seeking to bring freedom to droids across the galaxy, and raised an army to help him carry out his objective. The army carried out the Kligson's Moon Uprising, during which they wiped out the entirety of Kligson's Moon's population.[4] During the High Republic Era, a battle was fought on the moon between Sigma's forces and the Jedi Order. Many droids were destroyed during the battle, including Sigma, though he was eventually rebuilt.[2]
According to a Force vision shown to Darth Vader by the Eye of Webbish Bog[2] between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[5] sometime after the Jedi's destruction of Sigma, the moon's location was removed from all star-charts. Sigma traveled back to Kligson's Moon to retrieve something he needed, though when he arrived he was attacked by homesteaders. Sigma fought back and killed the homesteaders aboard their ship, an event sensed by the Jedi Luke Skywalker. Skywalker and other members of the Rebel Alliance then traveled to the moon where Skywalker encountered Sigma.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
In the current Star Wars canon, Kligson's Moon first appeared, via a vision, in the one shot comic issue Revelations, which was written by Marc Guggenheim and published by Marvel Comics[2] on November 23, 2022.[6] Kligson's Moon was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity in the forty-seventh issue of the comic series Star Wars, written by Archie Goodwin, illustrated by Carmine Infantino, and published by Marvel[7] on February 24, 1981.[8] In its original continuity, Kligson's Moon was a mobile space station populated by droids rather than an actual moon.[7]
