Pelgrin sector

The Pelgrin sector was a sector in the Outer Rim Territories that bordered the Tolonda sector. During the High Republic Era, the sector fell within the Galactic Republic's Galactic Frontier exploration region. The Pelgrin sector became part of the Occlusion Zone following its formation in 230 BBY as one of ten sectors sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel. In 9 ABY, the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin visited the Pelgrin sector planet Pagodon and captured his bounty, a Mythrol known as "The Fledgling Mythrol."

==History==
During the High Republic Era, the Galactic Republic designated a section of the Outer Rim—which included the Pelgrin sector—as the Galactic Frontier, locations considered removed far enough from the galaxy's center to send explorers there. In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauder organization formed the Occlusion Zone—an area of space in the Outer Rim's Frontier that was situated behind the Stormwall barrier preventing hyperspace travel.Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia
As one of the ten sectors forming the boundary of the Occlusion Zone, the Pelgrin sector was cut off from the rest of Republic space and the worlds within it were forced to pay tributes to the Nihil.The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness Weeks afterward, in 229 BBY, the Vurk Jedi Master Harli Cogra wrote a book titled Chronicles of the Jedi, which detailed the Jedi of the High Republic Era. In the book's afterword, Cogra lamented the formation of the Nihil's region and the ten sectors it affected.

==Behind the scenes==
In the current Star Wars canon, prior to being retconned into other media, the ten sectors forming the Occlusion Zone were first mentioned, albeit unidentified, in a flashback in the second issue of the Star Wars: The High Republic: Eye of the Storm comic-book miniseries. The issue was written by Charles Soule and released by Marvel ComicsThe High Republic: Eye of the Storm 2 on March 2, 2022 as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase I. The Pelgrin sector was later identified by name and specified to be one of the Occlusion Zone sectors via a map in the first issue of the 2023 comic series Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures. The issue was written by Daniel José Older, illustrated by Harvey Tolibao and Nick Brokenshire, and published by Dark Horse Comics as part of Phase III on December 6, 2023.
The 2024 reference book Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy placed the planet Pagodon in the Pelgrin sector. Thus, retroactively, the sector—via Pagodon—first appeared in "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian," the first episode of the first season the live-action Disney+ television series The Mandalorian, which aired on November 12, 2019. It was first pictured during a panel at Celebration Chicago on April 14 of the same year. During The Mandalorian development, artists Doug Chiang and Nick Gindraux created concept art of Pagodon's landscape. 
The Pelgrin sector originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry. The Online Companion placed the Perilious and Rordak systems in the sector, thus retroactively establishing the illustration of the Rordak system planet Rordak in the 1991 West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game sourcebook Planets of the Galaxy, Volume OnePlanets of the Galaxy, Volume One and the appearance of the Perilious system planet of the same name in the comic story "Dark Journey"—written by Jason Hall, illustrated by Ben Templesmith, and published by Dark Horse Comics in the seventeenth issue of the Star Wars Tales series on October 1, 2003—as the first visual depiction and first full appearance of the Pelgrin sector.
