The Tonnis sector, a sector situated within the galaxy, was largely uninhabited and far-flung. Due to its lack of population centers, it was mostly regarded as a desolate region. In the year 1 BBY, Freighter 2716 met with Captain Slavin's Star Destroyer in this sector. The freighter was covertly carrying an enormous kyber crystal destined for the Death Star. Both vessels were obliterated when the crystal, which had been turned into an explosive device by the infamous radical Saw Gerrera, detonated.
