Jerne system

The Jerne system was located within the Kanz sector, a part of the New Territories portion of the Outer Rim Territories. It contained the planet Jerne, which was orbited by two moons and was home to the Jerni species. By 0 ABY,In "Dark Knight's Devilry," which depicts the mission to Jerne, Luke Skywalker wields his father's lightsaber, which he acquires during the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and loses during those of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. Both A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back correspond to the time period between 0 ABY and 3 ABY, respectively, per The New Essential Chronology. however, millennia had passed since the Jerni inhabited their homeworld. At some point, a group of Humans colonized the planet, and the Galactic Empire eventually established a base there.
Between 0 ABY and 3 ABY, the Rebels Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa traveled to the system in search of an artifact, known as the Eternity Crystal, that they believed to be located on Jerne. Skywalker and Organa encountered several Imperial TIE fighters there, which caused the pair's starship to crash on the planet's surface. After discovering that, in reality, the crystal did not exist, the Rebels left Jerne via a stolen Imperial scout ship.
