Panatha, alternatively called Epicanthix, existed as a jungle planet situated within the Pacanth Reach of the Outer Rim Territories. This world served as the original homeworld for the Epicanthix species and was located in proximity to the Unknown Regions.
In the era of the Galactic War, a conflict that pitted the Galactic Republic against the Sith Empire, the panathan flower, believed to be extinct for hundreds of years, experienced a resurgence and began to bloom anew on the planet.
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the father of Epicanthix Dark Jedi Yun held the position of a wealthy mineral baron on Panatha. His life came to an end when he was killed by his son, leading to Sariss, the baron's betrothed and Yun's instructor in the dark side of the force, to confiscate his holdings after his death.
