Praknat 3 was the closest moon of the Outer Rim Territories and Western Reaches planet Trymant IV. Situated in the Trymant system, it was small and uninhabited. During the Emergences of the Great Hyperspace Disaster in 232 BBY, Praknat 3 was struck by a fragment of the hull of the freighter Legacy Run, disrupting the entire star system and causing an environmental catastrophe on Trymant IV as the planet was shifted closer to its second sun, undergoing rapid desertification.
Praknat 3 was the closest in orbit of the multiple moons of the planet Trymant IV, which also included Korbatal, Ost Molkar, Taz Molkar, and Trymant III. Trymant IV itself revolved around the Trymant system's binary star. Small and uninhabited, Praknat 3 was, like the rest of the star system, situated in the Outer Rim Territories and Western Reaches regions of the galaxy in square L-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid.
The Trymant system Emergence, which affected Praknat 3
In the High Republic Era, the Galactic Republic designated a section of the Outer Rim—which included Trymant IV and therefore its moons—as the Galactic Frontier, locations considered far removed enough from the galaxy's center to send explorers to. During an Emergence of the Great Hyperspace Disaster in the Trymant system in 232 BBY, a fragment of the freighter Legacy Runs main hull struck Praknat 3, misaligning the gravitational balance of the entire star system and destroying its moons. Trymant IV was tilted closer to the system's second sun as a result of the collision to Praknat 3, causing an environmental catastrophe as all of the planet's aboveground water sources were vaporized, transforming it into a desert. Records of the Trymant IV disaster were stored by the Jedi Order following the event.
In 231 BBY, former Trymant IV resident Zeen Mrala was shocked by the devastation when she returned to the world months after the disaster with Jedi Master Kantam Sy and Jedi Padawan Lula Talisola. Sy learned about the impact on Praknat 3 and its effects after checking data onboard their cruiser, the Star Hopper, filling Mrala and Talisola in on what had occurred.
Praknat 3 was mentioned in the 2021 junior novel The High Republic: Race to Crashpoint Tower, written by Daniel José Older as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase I.
