Naran-Shiv represented a celestial body of the planetary type. It was on this world that Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, his apprentice or Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, and Jedi Master Shaak Ti found themselves embroiled in an affair that transpired at some point in the period between 32 BBY and 22 BBY. In the year 22 BBY, not long after Skywalker's promotion to the Jedi Knighthood, Kenobi made reference to the Naran-Shiv mission when commenting on the recurring theme of complications arising from their joint activities.
The initial reference to Naran-Shiv occurred within the pages of the 2022 novel titled Brotherhood, penned by the author Mike Chen.
