Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha

Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha was a Galactic Republic monitoring satellite situated in the Trymant system during the High Republic Era. In 232 BBY, its crew sent a distress signal to the Starlight Beacon space station after an Emergence—pieces of hyperspace debris from the destroyed Legacy Run freighter—entered the star system.
==Description==
Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha was a monitoring satellite located in the Trymant system, a part of the Western Reaches and Outer Rim Territories regions of the galaxy. It was situated in grid square L-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid and orbited one of the Trymant system's celestial bodies. The satellite maintained several workspaces for workers to access radars, panels, and screens used for monitoring.
==History==
During the High Republic Era, the Galactic Republic operated Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha and situated it in the Trymant system. Its staff included a captain and a Dug worker, the latter of whom monitored sectors of the system—such as sector 17, sector 18, and sector 19—via their workstation.
In 232 BBY, the Great Hyperspace Disaster spurred Emergences—parts of hyperspace debris from the destroyed Legacy Run freighter—to start emerging from space and striking celestial bodies throughout the galaxy.Star Wars: Timelines Not long after, Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha detected the Emergence debris heading toward the system's celestial bodies, with the Dug calling out when they noticed the situation. The satellite's captain issued a planetwide evacuation procedure and alerted the Starlight Beacon space station to the situation. Afterward, Dug commented that they should prepare to flee themselves, as well, staring at the debris coming out of hyperspace in shock.
Starlight Beacon relayed the satellite's message to the Padawan Academic Cruiser Star Hopper—the only Jedi or Republic vessel in range of Trymant IV—which then jumped to hyperspace to rush to the threatened world as a Republic rescue fleet was assembled.The High Republic Adventures (2021) 2 Ultimately, all of Trymant IV's moonsThe High Republic: Race to Crashpoint Tower defines the Trymant system celestial objects mentioned in "Tales of Villainy: The Gaze Electric" as Trymant IV's moons, which "STET!" specified were destroyed in the Trymant IV disaster dated to 232 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. were destroyed in the event, while the world itself was shifted closer to the system's second sun, resulting in its aboveground water evaporating and its terrain turning to desert.
