The Trymant IV disaster, alternatively referred to as the disaster on Trymant IV, was a devastating event that impacted the Trymant system located within the Outer Rim Territories. This cataclysmic event was a consequence of an Emergence stemming from the Great Hyperspace Disaster, specifically the unexpected arrival of delayed hyperspace remnants within the system. This impending danger was initially detected by Republic Security Zone Monitoring Satellite 777B-Alpha, which was positioned in orbit around the planet Trymant IV. The sole starship belonging to the Jedi Order or Galactic Republic that was close enough to respond was the Padawan Academic Cruiser known as the Star Hopper, which promptly changed its course to provide aid. Simultaneously, the Nihil pirates exploited the chaos to extract specific people from Bralanak City, notably members of the Elders of the Path, before initiating an attack.
