Hydian Way / Legends The Hydian Way ( ) was a super - hyperroute that began at the Corporate Sector on one side of the galaxy and continued through the core to the other side , past Eriadu . It was the only route that passed through the entire galaxy . The Hydian Way was blazed around 3700 BBY , by famed Brentaal IV native Freia Kallea , and helped open up much of the galaxy beyond the region known as The Slice , fundamentally altering the scale of galactic civilization . The route was named in honor of Duros scout , and later Kallea ' s colleague , Banu Hydia . Astrography . Beginning at the Outer Rim world of Bonadan , the Hydian Way led past Bandomeer and Taris to Bogden in the Inner Rim . Just after intersection with the Perlemian Trade Route at Brentaal , one of the Core Worlds , the Corellian Run was connected near Caamas . The Hydian Way then went by Alderaan and Rendili , to cross the Corellian Run again , this time at Inner Rim world Denon . It continued near Derra IV in the Expansion Region and Malastare in the Mid Rim , crossing Rimma Trade Route at Eriadu , and ended in the Outer Rim , close to Polis Massa and Subterrel . History . In 3705 BBY , Freia Kallea made the first pushes into space with her scoutship , " Hope " , funded with the help of her secret lover Sival Brentioch . She accepted the commission that was described " as far as Farana " , creating a path through the Crombach Nebula , as well as discovering a reliable route between the worlds of Serenno and Telos IV , finishing the next year in 3704 BBY . Her actions forced Neimoidian scouts Thoax and Farge Osaax to hire Duros Banu Hydia to eliminate her , but he refused , instead discussing her plans to expand rimward south of Denon . Hydia ' s warnings about the treacherous Tyus Cluster and the dangerous Itani Nebula were ignored , however , she continued to make news across the galaxy by charting an extension of the new route from Denon to Demos Four from 3703 BBY to 3702 BBY . Upon reaching Malastare , Kallea was arrested by thugs of Thoax and Farge and was subsequently freed by Hydia . She later returned to Malastare determined to complete her route , however , her scoutship was crippled by the Neimoidians , forcing her to crash land on the nearby world of Nuvar . With Kallea out of the way , the Neimoidians charted the Seswenna Expansion for themselves , from 3701 BBY to 3699 BBY , reaching the Rimma Trade Route south of Eriadu . Kallea remained on Nuvar for six standard years until she was finally located by Hydia in 3694 BBY . After returning to civilization , she reengaged in scouting to finish her work , requesting that Hydia join her on the last leg of their journey , to which he accepted . Kallea and Hydia pushed through the dust clouds of the Tosste system and came across the hub of Terminus . There would be one last push that would finalize their route , the Hydian Spur , with a trap set up on the world of treasure - rich planet of Imynusoph to capture the Neimoidians . After a battle with the Neimoidians ' henchmen , the opposition was arrested by the local Imyni ; however , Hydia became mortally wounded and died . In his honor , Freia Kallea named her route the Hydian Way . Existing hyperspace routes that were sown together by Kallea into the Hydian Way included the Morellian Trail , the Spurs of Celanon , the Sprizen End Run , the Mandalorian Road , the Corsin Run , the Brentaal – Denon Route , and the Dustig Trace . The Dustig Trace was absorbed into the Hydian Way in 3693 BBY , bolstering Malastare into a trading hub . Some historians argued that her discovery was merely an extension of what had already been established , but many scouts continued to admire her accomplishments . In 3661 BBY ( 7 BTC ) , Mandalorian cruiser s seized control of the Hydian Way and set up a blockade , choking the Republic and placing it in an economic crisis . A Mirialan named Hylo Visz saw this as an opportunity for profit and gathered together several smugglers for an assault on the Mandalorians . She commanded a fleet of ships to stop one parsec outside of the blockade , and while the Mandalorians were distracted , her fleet jumped out of hyperspace to attack . Initially they were outnumbered but the Republic caught word of the assault and sent reinforcements . This extra push by the Republic was enough to break up the Mandalorian blockade , effectively freeing the galaxy from starvation and civil war . Visz was considered a hero of the Republic , but was nowhere to be seen upon her medal ceremony . Over the centuries , Eriadu Way , originally a separate hyperlane , eventually became considered part of the Hydian Way . In addition , as the galaxy rotated , some sections of the original Hydian Way had shifted . Twenty - two hundred years after the charting of the Hydian Way , the events that created it were documented in the Brentaalan opera " The Kallea Cycle " . " Cardan " - class space stations were present at the crossroads between the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way . Behind the scenes . Freia Kallea ' s discovery of the Hydian Way originally took place around 3000 BBY , as established in sources such as " Imperial Double - Cross " , but was later retcon ned to take place before the events of " " .
