Description[]

The Bon'nyuw-Luqsector was situated in theOuter Rim Territories^[1] andTrailing Sectors regions.^[3] It bordered theGaris,Grumani,Mayagil,^[2]Sanbra,^[1]Tamarin, andToblain sectors.^[2] The Bon'nyuw-Luq sector was the location of theCrait system, containing the remotemineralplanetCrait.^[9] The sector also containedArbra,^[1] a smallwoodland planet, thetrees of which were inhabited bybirds.^[6] TheSharlissia system was located on the borders of the Bon'nyuw-Luq and Toblain sectors.^[2]

History[]

During theHigh Republic Era, Arbra was inhabited.^[6] By231 BBY,^[10] the planet'smain settlement was the target of araid by theNihilmarauders that resulted with most of its buildingsburning down. Not long after the raid,^[6] in thatyear,^[10] theGalactic Republiccorrectional vesselRestitution visited Arbra in order for itsprisoner workforce to assist in the relief efforts. Several work parties—includingone under the supervision ofCounselorsFry andJon Wittick that included the incognito former NihilTempest RunnerLourna Dee—landed on Arbra inshuttles, meeting withAdministratorLalutin.^[6]

The prisoners were scheduled to work over the course of fivedays; however, while on Arbra, Lalutin—previously injured by Dee when the two attendedCarida Academy—sought to reveal her true identity. Lalutin waskilled by Dee's fellow prisonerTasia, working alongside former Tempest RunnerPan Eyta Eyta, who also desired revenge against Dee. In the chaos caused byEyta's crew, eight prisoners were killed and three escaped, while Eyta himself disappeared after being supposedly defeated by Dee. As a result of the incident, theRestitution departed Arbra for its next stop.^[6]

In228 BBY,^[11] the Nihilexpanded theirOcclusion Zone territory in response to a failedassault by the Republic on itsStormwall barrier. Following the expansion, the edge of the Occlusion Zone bisected the Bon'nyuw-Luq sector, a portion of which was thus trapped behind the Stormwall.^[2]
