JanFathal, a world situated in the Outer Rim Territories, was a planet that at one time belonged to the Republic. Athar, a city, served as its capital.
In the era of the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems took control of the planet, resulting in Republic operative Hallena Devis being held as a prisoner on the world. Subsequently, the Leveler, a Republic warship under the leadership of Captain Gilad Pellaeon, made its way to the planet and dispatched a team of Jedi accompanied by clone troopers to free Devis, successfully completing the mission.
