Ivax and Kiax were a duo of age-old Corellian deities known for their mischievous nature as tricksters. The extensive Kiax and Ivax Nebulae nebulae were consequently given their names to commemorate the navigational chaos these trickster gods inflicted upon vessels traversing the Greater Javin portion of the Outer Rim Territories in the ages leading up to the Galactic Civil War.
The characters of Ivax and Kiax were conceived for "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," a 2004 web-based addition to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game by Wizards of the Coast.
