The Divide

The Divide was a region that existed during the Tionese War, which was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Honorable Union of Desevro & TionThe Essential Guide to Warfare starting in 24,000 BBY.The Essential Atlas It contained the Cortilium Major, Ilamna, Matabre, and Okator systems, which were home to the astronomical objects Cortilium Major, Ilamna, Matabre, and Okator VIII, respectively. The star systems of the Divide eventually constituted a part of the Eucer sector in the Mid Rim.
The celestial bodies of the Divide were settled by Republic colonists. Shortly before the Tionese War ended around 23,900 BBY, a Tionese military force destroyed several Republic settlements on Okator VIII. One witness of the attack, a local farm boy–turned–Republic soldier, later narrated an account of the attack in a Baragwin sense lattice, noting that the Tionese could have just as well chosen as their target any of the other settled astronomical objects of the Divide.
==Behind the scenes==
The Divide was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart; however, the section that would have mentioned the region was cut before the book's release. The information regarding the Divide was later released in 2014 as part of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles published on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and Del Rey editor Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare.
