The planet Eriadu in the Outer Rim Territories was orbited by an inhabited moon. It was estimated that 1.2 billion people lived on this moon during the High Republic Era. During the Great Hyperspace Disaster, one of the Emergences resulted in three pieces of the freighter called Legacy Run appearing in the Eriadu system. Kassav Milliko, a Tempest Runner from the Nihil marauder band, had been given the locations of future Emergences by Marchion Ro, also known as Eye of the Nihil. Milliko planned to use the knowledge of the upcoming Emergence on Eriadu to blackmail Mural Veen, the governor of the planet. Following the arrival of two fragments in the system, with one destroying a fleet of lommite transports, Veen ultimately gave in to Milliko's requests in exchange for stopping the Emergence. A third piece was on course to hit the moon, but Milliko's corvette, the New Elite, didn't successfully microjump to the right coordinates to destroy it. Because of this failure, the fragment crashed onto the moon's surface. After the crash, a cloud of debris erupted from the moon, and shockwaves spread across its terrain.
