Chortose was a celestial body located within the Rseik sector of the Outer Rim Territories, and it served as the homeworld for the Chortose species. In the High Republic Era, Chortose housed Agricultural Hub 42, which functioned as a factory. This factory became the attacked target of Nihil marauders just before the Republic Fair, due to their need for sprayer droids. Keeve Trennis, a Jedi Knight, was dispatched to protect Chortose, while Orla Jareni, a Jedi Wayseeker, responded independently to a distress signal on Chortose, and aided Trennis when the Nihil proved too much for her to handle alone.
