Magnetic pulse

Magnetic pulses were a type of signal emitted by some stars. The ridadi, a species of star-locust, navigated by following magnetic pulses, including those emitted by a star in a system near the planet Shuraden. When the space station Starlight Beacon was launched in 232 BBY,The Star Wars Book dates the launch of the Starlight Beacon to 232 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 232 BBY in the dating system used by Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. it broadcast a signal at the same frequency as the pulses the ridadi listened to, confusing the giant insects and causing them to threaten a Ximpi city on Shuraden. Jedi Padawan Keeve Trennis discovered the problem while undergoing her Jedi Trials, with information retrieved by Jedi Master Estala Maru. Informed of the issue, Maru recalibrated the Beacon's frequency, while Trennis programmed a Jedi Vector to replicate the signal and fly into space, leading the ridadi away from Shuraden.
