Murk was an astronomical object located in the Moddell sector of the Outer Rim Territories[1] in grid square H-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[2] It lay on the Sanctuary Pipeline, a hyperspace route that connected the Moddell sector moon of Endor to the[1] Sullust sector[3] planet Sullust. Murk was depicted on a map of the Moddell sector included with the Rebel Alliance collection of non-electronic documents known as The Rebel Files.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Murk was introduced in the new Star Wars canon via a mention in the De Agostini magazine Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon's eighteenth issue,[4] which was published around May 6, 2015.[5] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Murk system contained a red dwarf–type star and a planetoid, both also named "Murk." Both the star and the planetoid were originally introduced in the article "Endor and the Moddell Sector," which was authored by Craig Robert Carey, Daniel Wallace, and Jason Fry, and published in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine[6] on February 22, 2002.[7]
