Imynusoph system

The Imynusoph system was an Outer Rim Territories star system that contained the world of Imynusoph. Around 3694 BBY, the hyperspace scout Freia Kallea charted the final segment of the super-hyperroute that would become known as the Hydian Way to the system. Nearly four millennia after Kallea extended the Hydian Way to the Imynusoph system, the latter remained outside of the borders of galactic governments but was considered part of the Kallea sector by 0 ABY.
According to the opera The Kallea Cycle, Imynusoph was the homeworld of the sentient Imyni species. The opera depicted the attempt by Kallea to capture her rivals Thoax and Farge Osaax in the Temple of Imynusoph, with her plans waylaid by the betrayal of the Imyni and the arrival of reinforcements for both the scout's and the Osaaxes' side of the confrontation. In the opera's climax, a battle ensued between the parties present on Imynusoph.
==Description==
The Imynusoph system was located within the Outer Rim Territories' Kallea sector. It contained the world of Imynusoph.
==History==
===Exploration===
In 3694 BBY, the Human hyperspace scout Freia Kallea extended a hyperlane she had previously blazed that connected the Rimma Trade Route with the Terminus system. Kallea charted a new route, which would eventually be named the Hydian Spur, from Terminus to the Imynusoph system. The Hydian Spur went on to become the final segment of the Hydian Way super-hyperroute stretching across the entire galaxy.
The area of space surrounding the Imynusoph system had been explored by 3000 BBY. During the Clone Wars, the Outer Rim system fell outside the borders of the Galactic Republic. Shortly after the acquisition of the planet Ukio by the Commerce Guild during that conflict, the Imynusoph system was featured on a galactic map displayed on a viewscreen at a facility run by Passel Argente, the MagistrateThe Clone Wars: Act on Instinct of the Corporate Alliance. The system remained outside the sphere of influence of the Galactic Empire by 17 BBY,The Essential Guide to Warfare although it became incorporated as part of the Empire's Kallea sector by 0 ABY.
===The Kallea Cycle===
Twenty-two hundred years after Kallea blazed the Hydian Way, the composer Trebian Shullos wrote The Kallea Cycle, an opera that depicted how the resolute scout overcame the difficulties in charting the extensive hyperlane. The climax of the third and final act of the opera took place on Imynusoph.
In the opera, Kallea attempted to exact revenge on her rivals Thoax and Farge Osaax by setting a trap for them on Imynusoph. The Human scout lured the two Neimoidians to a great temple there. To the horror of the Osaaxes, Kallea revealed herself at a banquet at the temple and ordered the native Imyni to bind the Neimoidians.
However, the natives chose that moment to turn on all the offworlders as a result of Kallea's high-handed attitude. At the same time, a band of Dug and Gran thugs hired by the Neimoidians for protection arrived on Imynusoph, and so did a fleet led by Kallea's secret admirer and patron, Sival Brentioch.
During the climactic battle that ensued, the temple was set ablaze, and Kallea was saved by her fellow scout, the Duros Banu Hydia, at the cost of his own life. In the opera's denouement, the Osaaxes were arrested, and Kallea and Brentioch left Imynusoph, taking Hydia's body with them for burial on their native world, Brentaal.
==Inhabitants==
Around 25 ABY, the population of the Imynusoph system numbered less than one million. In the opera The Kallea Cycle, Imynusoph was depicted as home to the sentient Imyni species.
==Behind the scenes==
The Imynusoph system was first mentioned in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, which placed it in grid square J-21. Fry has stated that the star systems listed in The Essential Atlas Appendix section are named after the most prominent planets or celestial bodies located in those systems. This article therefore considers the Imynusoph system to be named after the planet Imynusoph, which is assumed to have existed in the Star Wars galaxy independently of its in-universe depiction in The Kallea Cycle. The Clone Wars: Act on Instinct, a webcomic authored by Pablo Hidalgo and released on StarWars.com over the span of the 2009–2010 second season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, featured the first appearance of the Imynusoph system.
