The Ishbix system, a star system, served as the location where multiple members of the Janikki clan were being sought for offenses committed during the High Republic Era. In the year 230 BBY, Thaya Ferr, who was the assistant to Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil within the Nihil marauder group, made a calculated move to relocate crew members from Ro's primary vessel, the Gaze Electric. As part of this strategy, she tasked the Janikki clan—who had integrated into the Nihil and posed a potential threat due to their strong internal allegiance—with overseeing operations within the Ishbix system. Ferr's intention was to exploit the Janikki clan's apprehension stemming from their criminal status in that system, anticipating that this would lead to mistakes that would weaken their position. Ro commended Ferr's decision upon learning about these personnel changes.
The 2022 novel titled The High Republic: The Fallen Star, penned by Claudia Gray, featured the Ishbix system. This novel is a component of Phase I of the Star Wars: The High Republic expansive multimedia initiative.
