Trigalis Trigalis was a swamp - covered planet located within the Outer Rim Territories ' Juris sector . Long before the Clone Wars , the trading post of New Coronet was founded on Trigalis , but over time the city degenerated into a busy center of various illegal activities . In 19 . 48 BBY , the Jedi Master Aayla Secura was assigned on a mission to Trigalis . A month later , the planet was also visited by Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi , who was investigating rumors of the survival of Asajj Ventress , a commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems believed to have been previously killed . Evading groups of local thugs attempting to rob him , Kenobi rendezvoused with Secura , who led him to the fortress of Xist , a local Black Sun enforcer with ties to the Confederacy . After nightfall , Kenobi attacked the fortress , causing several explosions and defeating many of the compound ' s guards . Finally , the Jedi engaged Xist himself in a vicious duel , demanding he surrender information on Ventress ' s whereabouts . Following his defeat , Xist intentionally provided Kenobi with a misleading tip , claiming that the Confederacy had sent a top agent to assassinate one of Xist ' s rivals at the world of Maramere . The following day , Kenobi left Trigalis in Secura ' s starfighter in order to recruit Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker for assistance in preventing the planned assassination . Description . Trigalis was a planet located within the Trigalis system of the Outer Rim Territories ' Juris sector . The Trigalis system lay on the hyperlane known as the Five Veils Route , which connected it to the Farstine and Qeimet system s . The surface of Trigalis , which appeared blue and green from orbit , was covered by swamps that were overgrown with trees and were home to a species of yellow flying bird , as well as dark - blue winged insects . History . Republic shadowport . The area of space surrounding the Trigalis system was explored between 1000 and 25 BBY . At some point long before the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars , the city of New Coronet was established on Trigalis as a trading post . Over time , the city devolved into a haven for individuals indulging in criminal activities , most of whom were connected to the Black Sun syndicate , and the planet Trigalis became a famous shadowport . During the Clone Wars , Trigalis fell within the borders of the Galactic Republic , and in 22 BBY , the Republic ' s Fifteenth Sector Army was charged with engaging the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the planet ' s vicinity . Around the date 19 . 48 BBY , while traveling through hyperspace after a mission to the world of Anzat , Jedi Master Aayla Secura told her fellow Jedi Tholme that she had been ordered by the Jedi Order to travel to Trigalis on a mission . Kenobi ' s mission . Hunting for leads . A month later , Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi engaged in a personal mission to confirm his suspicions that Asajj Ventress , a Confederacy commander believed to have been killed by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , had , in fact , survived . To that end , Kenobi visited Trigalis , where he had arranged to meet with Secura in New Coronet , having been previously instructed by Grand Master Yoda not to allow his own mission to interfere with that of Secura . While Kenobi was still away from the city , a green - skinned swooper noticed the Jedi using his lightsaber . The swooper , together with seven other swoop - mounted thugs who were all intent on confiscating Kenobi ' s possessions , proceeded to pursue him through a stretch of Trigalis ' s swamps , peppering their quarry with blasterfire . Kenobi , who was wearing a mask and was also riding a swoop , crippled six of the pursuers ' repulsorcraft , including one that he destroyed with a thrown explosive . Heading for New Coronet , Kenobi disposed of another pursuer when the latter crashed his swoop in a bridge on the settlement ' s outskirts . Arriving in the city , Kenobi dismembered his lone remaining pursuer , causing him to crash as well . Immediately thereafter , a group of Black Sun thugs surrounded Kenobi and demanded he surrender his money and lightsaber . Refusing , Kenobi proceeded to throw one of the thugs through the window of a nearby cantina . Inside , he met with Secura . Removing his mask , Kenobi let Secura introduce him to New Coronet while escorting him through the city ' s streets toward the personal fortress of Xist , the Falleen local Black Sun authority who was providing weapons and intelligence to the Confederacy . Tips and lies . Kenobi refused any further assistance from Secura and waited until nightfall before entering the fortress . Once inside , the Jedi prevented alarms from triggering early . He then defeated many of Xist ' s guards — leading Xist to believe at first that an entire army had invaded the compound — and in the process caused several explosions that were noticed by the city ' s residents . Finally , Kenobi confronted Xist and requested the enforcer give information to him . In response , the Falleen drew his vibrowhip , leading the two to engage in a vicious duel . During the fight , Kenobi continued to demand that Xist reveal the location of Ventress . When he was finally defeated , the Black Sun leader agreed to reveal to the Jedi what little he knew about Ventress ' s survival . Xist then invited Kenobi to another room of the fortress and told the Jedi that he could not confirm the veracity of rumors about Ventress ' s survival . The Falleen did , however , know that the Confederate leader , Count Dooku , had sent one of his best agents to assassinate Xist ' s rival , the arms dealer Drama Korr . Xist also told Kenobi that the hit on Korr would occur when the merchant arrived at the Karthakk sector world of Maramere in a few days ' time . In truth , the enforcer had intentionally provided misleading information to Kenobi , as the agent assigned to kill Korr was the bounty hunter Durge , not Ventress , as Kenobi assumed . The following day , Kenobi contacted the Jedi High Council on the planet Coruscant via hologram . He was then seen off at a landing platform by Secura , who had loaned Kenobi her starfighter so that he could travel to the Mid Rim planet Naboo in order to recruit Anakin Skywalker ' s assistance in preventing the assassination of Korr . Under the Empire . Trigalis was located just outside space controlled by the Galactic Empire by 19 BBY . That year , Imperial military forces commanded by Grand Moff Octavian Grant passed through the Trigalis system as they pursued Marath Vooro , the former Customs Vizier of the disestablished Trade Federation , from the planet Farstine down the Five Veils Route . Around 2 BBY , the Zelosian thief and smuggler Celot Ratua Dil visited a port pub on Trigalis to enjoy a mug of ferment . During his stay there , the Zelosian started haggling over previously - stolen meelweekian silk with a member of a pirate gang who was also present in the bar . Unfortunately for Ratua Dil , he was promptly arrested by local authorities , who assumed he was also a pirate . Since the judge s presiding over the Zelosian ' s case were convinced he was guilty of at least some criminal transgressions , if not the original accusation of piracy , he was sentenced to imprisonment on the Atrivis sector prison planet Despayre . Inhabitants . The population of the Trigalis system around 25 ABY was between 10 million to 100 million . Representatives of several sentient species were present in the city of New Coronet on Trigalis . The species ' mix included Humans , a number of whom were employed as guards in the fortress of Black Sun authority Xist . Several inhabitants of Trigalis spoke Galactic Basic Standard . Individuals accused of breaking the law on Trigalis could offer to undergo a truth - scan in order to determine their innocence , on the condition that they would reimburse the expenses involved in the procedure . If the defendant lacked the means to pay for a truth - scan , the judges arbitrating the case could choose to fund the procedure using tax income . Locations . The primary port city of Trigalis , New Coronet was a settlement consisting of red - hued , run - down buildings located in an elevated area overlooking a swamp . There were at least two wooden pedestrian bridges and a pier on the city ' s edge . Originally founded as a trading post , New Coronet had already become a center of illicit activities decades before the Clone Wars erupted , catering to the needs of murderers , pirates , spice dealers , and gamblers , most of whom had ties to the Black Sun organization . Nevertheless , many travel guides continued to designate the city as a trading post . During the Clone Wars , New Coronet was controlled by the Black Sun leader Xist from a heavily guarded stone fortress located inside the city . The compound featured a central tower ; a room that had one wall lined with several different bladed weapons , firearms , and various trophy skulls ; and a room with a balcony and a large stone table . In the latter room , a pair of wheel ed servant droids were present and catered to Xist and Obi - Wan Kenobi during their conversation . Behind the scenes . Trigalis first appeared in the first issue of the " " comic series . The comic was published in 2004 , and was written by Haden Blackman and penciled by Brian Ching . The 2009 reference book " The Essential Atlas " placed the Trigalis system , and therefore the planet Trigalis , in grid square P - 17 .
