This article covers the Canon version of this subject.  Click here for Wookieepedia's article on the Legends version of this subject. 

"To that end, we must take an indirect path to Kuat and strike these designated targets. No sieges, no prolonged attacks—these are surgical strikes against logistical hubs. We destroy these, and the Empire must react by reassigning ships and officers—either to repair damage or to compensate by bolstering efficiency elsewhere."
―Everi Chalis, on attacking Xagobah and her other targets[3]

Xagobah was an astronomical object in the Outer Rim Territories that was the homeworld of the Xamster Neva Kee. During the Galactic Civil War it produced war resources for the Galactic Empire. The Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry fought the Empire there as part of the campaign Operation Ringbreaker in 3 ABY. In 5 ABY, New Republic forces led by General Ria undertook a campaign against an Imperial-Royalist coalition at the astronomical body.

Description[]

Xagobah was an astronomical object located in an intersecting portion of the Outer Rim Territories[6] and Western Reaches regions.[2] A hyperspace route linked it to[6] the planet[7] Pamarthe[6] and the astronomical object Triton, the latter being along the Rimma Trade Route. Situated in grid square M-18 of the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it was the homeworld of[8] the Xamster[9] podracer Neva Kee[8] and included unpleasant-smelling canyons.[3]

History[]

Twilight Company patch

Xagobah was targeted by the 61st Mobile Infantry (patch pictured) as part of Operation Ringbreaker.

During the Galactic Civil War, Xagobah produced resources for the Galactic Empire's war effort.[4] In 3 ABY,[10] the astronomical body was targeted by the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry three weeks into Operation Ringbreaker, a campaign devised by the former Imperial Governor Everi Chalis that targeted the Empire's Kuat Drive Yards. The attack aimed to force Imperial Military redeployments from Kuat Drive Yards to weaken their security for a final attack. A resulting battle was fought between the Empire and the 61st in Xagobah's canyons, with the latter faction achieving its objective before moving on.[3] The Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service examined the 61st's campaign, and General Crix Madine listed Xagobah among the targets in a report on Operation Ringbreaker's first phase. The report was later gathered by archivist Hendri Underholt and included in an archive of non-electronic documents called The Rebel Files.[4]

After the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Empire's forces splintered, and the Alliance transitioned into the New Republic.[11] In 5 ABY,[12] Imperial forces still controlled Xagobah in coalition with local royalists. New Republic general Ria led a campaign to drive the coalition off Xagobah. The general spoke about her efforts at the celestial body during a meeting with other leading members of the New Republic military regarding the progress of the Galactic Civil War as a whole. As the operation progressed, the Xagobah campaign saw what Ria considered to be a dark turn in events. The general soon attended another meeting with the New Republic's military leadership, where she summarized the dark turn but expressed confidence in the campaign's imminent end.[5]

Xagobah was introduced in the current Star Wars canon when it was mentioned in the 2015 novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, written by Alexander Freed.[3] It originated as a planet[13] in the Star Wars Legends continuity, first being mentioned in the 2000 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I by Kristin Lund.[14] The first visual depiction of Xagobah was on a map of the Star Wars galaxy in the fifth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine, published by Wizards of the Coast[15] on July 24, 2001.[16] Xagobah's first appearance in Legends was in the 2004 novel Boba Fett: A New Threat, the fifth book in the Boba Fett young-readers series written by Elizabeth Hand.[13]

  12. ↑ The events of Victory's Price begin after the Cerberon system campaign, and the novel also features the Battle of Jakku at the end of its three main sections. Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year. Furthermore, since the mentions of Xagobah in Victory's Price occur before the Battle of Jakku, they must have also taken place in that year.
