Ansett Island


Ansett Island, situated on the planet Ansett within the Outer Rim Territories and the New Territories, served as a battleground. Sometime between 10 ABY and 33 ABY, the First Order engaged in the Battle of Ansett Island at this location. During this conflict, Company 77, a First Order stormtrooper unit composed of adolescent troopers undergoing training, received orders to kill a group of non-combatants. The entire company defied this command and instead chose to deserted, fleeing the planet aboard a cruiser commandeered by members of the company.

Behind the scenes

The name Ansett Island initially surfaced in connection with the Battle of Ansett Island. This battle is referenced by Jannah, an ex-member of Company 77, during a conversation with Finn, a former stormtrooper, in the 2019 sequel trilogy movie Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. A direct reference to Ansett Island also occurs in the companion reference work, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, penned by Pablo Hidalgo. In Ian Doescher's 2020 non-canon adaptation, William Shakespeare's The Merry Rise of Skywalker: Star Wars Part the Ninth, a modified version of the line from The Rise of Skywalker includes a direct mention of Ansett Island.
