Jiaan

Jiaan was a planet located in the Jiaan system in the Mid Rim's Almak sector. During the early years of the New Order—which was established in 19 BBYThe New Essential Chronology places the Declaration of a New Order in 19 BBY.—Jiaan was one of many planets that was subjugated and decimated by the forces of the Galactic Empire, targeted after Jedi Knight Tyneir Renz—a Human native of the planet—escaped the Great Jedi Purge. Renz's wife and son were killed in the razing of Jiaan, though he managed to save his daughter, Padija Anjeri.
==Behind the scenes==
Jiaan was first mentioned in Tyneir Renz's character statistics block included with "Idol Intentions," a short story by Patricia A. Jackson in the February 1997 twelfth issue of Star Wars Adventure Journal, a supplement to West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Jiaan system, and therefore Jiaan, in grid square J-17.
