Emergences

The Emergences were a series of disasters that occurred in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, in which the freighter Legacy Run came apart in hyperspace while maneuvering to avoid a Nihil starship, with numerous fragments of its wreckage entering the Hetzal system at near-lightspeed. A combined effort of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order headed by Jedi Master Avar Kriss managed to prevent a majority of the damage at Hetzal. However, further fragments of the wreckage continued to emerge from hyperspace across the Outer Rim Territories.
The first Emergence occurred in the Ab Dalis system, with approximately twenty million people killed when a fragment struck the planet Ab Dalis. As they continued, entire civilizations were wiped out by the Emergences. As a result of the disasters, Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh enacted closures of hyperspace routes throughout the Outer Rim. With a navidroid array created by Keven Tarr, the Republic was able to predict the locations of future Emergences, recovering the flight recorder of the Legacy Run to determine what had caused the initial disaster.
The Koboh Emergence slammed into the Moon of Koboh, smashing a large part of it into debris. Most of this flew onto the surface of the planet, causing major destruction and hastening the Republic's ongoing efforts to abandon the planet after the Attack on Tanalorr.Star Wars Jedi: Survivor The planet Brendok was hit by an Emergence, rendering it uninhabitable. By the following century, however, the planet was teeming with life.
