Altier


Altier was a celestial object situated within the Altier system. This system resided within the Altier sector, found in the Slice region of the Expansion Region.

During the period of the Galactic Civil War, the freighter known as the Skyjumper, piloted by its captain, Drev Jalok, along with his co-pilot, Sullub Soonin, was on a course to Altier with a potentially lucrative cargo. However, while traveling far from the Altier system, the starship was waylaid by the pirate crew aboard the corvette Sable III, who forced the Skyjumper out of hyperspace and subsequently incapacitated the vessel.

Behind the scenes

The mention of Altier first appeared in "Stand and Deliver," a piece written by John J. Richardson III and featured in the February 1995 edition of Star Wars Adventure Journal 5. The reference work The Essential Atlas, published in 2009, placed the Altier system, and consequently the astronomical object Altier, in grid coordinate O-13.
