Perlemian Trade Route / Legends The Perlemian Trade Route , originally known as The Axis , was a vital trade super - hyperroute that ran through the galaxy . Along with the Corellian Run , it was one of the two routes that made up the border of The Slice . It was founded c . 25 , 000 BBY , linking the young Galactic Republic with Ossus . The route took its name from the Perlemia system , located in the Core Worlds , which in its early history produced the thousands of scout vessel s that charted the route . Astrography . It began at Coruscant and passed the worlds of Anaxes , Corulag , Brentaal IV , Carida , Nak Shimor , Taanab , Kulthis , Sorjus , Vaynai , Columex , and Estaria . Beyond Estaria and the Tion Cluster the route became known as the Far Perlemian , and passed through Makem Te , Ter Abbes , and terminated just past Quermia . The Perlemian also passed the Roche asteroid field , The Wheel , and the Cron Drift . History . The Route first connected Coruscant to Ossus , and Coruscanti reunited with the Jedi , the ascetic warriors who left the Core centuries ago and remained but a myth until then . The Route contributed to the growth of the Republic since civilizations and colonies sued for protection from the Tionese and Hutt Space . With the Corellian Run , it formed The Slice region of the Galaxy which was explored and populated easier and faster than other parts . Further expansion of the Route led it up to the Wild Space . The forces of the Republic and of the Tion Hegemony used the route extensively during the Tionese War , where fleets from both powers raced back and forth along the Perlemian , dropping pressure bomb s on each other ' s capitals . " Cardan " - class space stations were present at the crossroads between the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way . Behind the scenes . There seem to be two disparate accounts of the blazing of this hyperspace route . The first , and most referenced , points to a very early founding of the Route . " The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons " notes " The first galactic scouts struck out from the Core Worlds along two stable hyperspace paths - the Perlemian Trade Route and the Corellian Run , " and " Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds " notes " A millennium after the fall of Xim the Despot , Human traders claiming to hail from the center of the galaxy visited the Tion . . . Tion pirate fleets followed the new arrivals back down their so - called Perlemian Trade Route ; there , they found rich planets bound in a loose , democratic union - and ill prepared for war . " " The New Essential Chronology " indicates the Route was mapped between 25 , 000 BBY and 24 , 000 BBY . " The Essential Atlas " further points out the Perlemian was formed at the time of the formation of the Republic and its Expansionist Period . However , " " indicates a different history , suggesting that it was founded not long after the end of the Great Sith War , resulting in the decline of worlds like Taris . This information cannot be reconciled with " The Essential Atlas " and " The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > " accounts of the foundation of the Perlemian , so this article assumes that the former account is correct .
