Miriatin represents a planet where, amid the Galactic Civil War, a complete Imperial patrol force engaged in a mutiny. A mere third of the mutineers lived through the ordeal and successfully fled Miriatin; among these survivors was Kendy Idele, who subsequently became a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
The initial reference to Miriatin occurred in the novel Lost Stars, penned by Claudia Gray and published in 2015.
