"The Hosnian Cataclysm. Image recovered from New Republic defence satellite 819D."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

New Republic defence satellite 819D was a defense satellite used by the New Republic in the Hosnian system,[1] which was located in the Interior[3] and Core Worlds regions in grid square M-12 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[2]

In 34 ABY,[5] it captured an image of the Hosnian Cataclysm, showing the multiple beams that originated at the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon moments before they struck and destroyed all of the planets in the star system, including the New Republic's capital, Hosnian Prime.[1] In 35 ABY,[6] the historian Beaumont Kin mentioned the satellite when including the image in[1] his[7] book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

New Republic defence satellite 819D was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall. The book credits the satellite with having taken an image[1] that, out-of-universe, is a still from the 2015 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.[8]

  6. ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
