- ―Nath Tensent
Thakwaa was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] located in the Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches regions[2] and positioned at the coordinates I-19 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The Red Isles was a location on Thakwaa, where the Rebel Alliance pilot Nath Tensent and his astromech droid T5 had to spend a night some time prior to the Battle of Endor[3] of 4 ABY.[4] For protection against flies, T5 convinced Tensent to create an ointment from plant stems, which had a side effect of causing rashes. According to Tensent, nothing interesting occurred during his time on Thakwaa, and the two departed several days later.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Thakwaa was first introduced in the current Star Wars canon via a map included in the 2016 Fantasy Flight Games roleplaying boxed set Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet Thakwaa was first mentioned in X-Wing: Iron Fist, a novel written by Aaron Allston and published in 1998 as the sixth installment in the Star Wars: X-Wing series.[5]
