A star located in the Inner Rim Territories exploded centuries prior to 40 BBY. As a result, the Byrnum Maw nebula was formed and the hyperspace routes in the surrounding region of space, including the pathways leading to the Pijal system, were disrupted. Over time, the formation of the nebula heavily affected the economic prosperity of worlds consequently cut off from hyperspace traffic. In 40 BBY, Republic Supreme Chancellor Kirames Kaj recounted the nebula's formation due to the star's explosion to the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, while briefing them on their upcoming mission to the planet Pijal.
