A mechanism designed to produce a field that could keep a hyperspace tunnel stable was known as a hyperspace anchor. Utilizing two such anchors, one situated on Pijal and the other on its moon, the Pijal Hyperspace Corridor was formed through the Byrnum Maw nebula in the Inner Rim. The Czerka Corporation engineered this hyperspace route as a substitute for a prior route that had been disturbed when a star reached its death and became a nebula.
