Galtea

Galtea was an inhabited terrestrial astronomical object located in the Outer Rim Territories, in a section that was designated as the Galactic Frontier by the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauders raised the Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel and thus created the area known as Occlusion Zone.Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia Thereby numerous astronomical objects, including Galtea, were trapped in Nihil-controlled space. In 229 BBY,Elzar Mann and Lina Soh's conversation from The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness mentioning Galtea takes place shortly before the one-year anniversary of the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which equates to 229 BBY per Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. Jedi Master Elzar Mann mentioned the beings trapped behind the Stormwall to Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh of the Galactic Republic to motivate her to not give up in the conflict against the Nihil, naming Galtea's population as one of several such examples.
