Jump to navigation Jump to search

Athallia was an astronomical object[3] located in the Athallia system. It was a part of the Athallia sector,[1] within the Trailing Sectors portion of[2] the Expansion Region.[1] Kalarcha served as Athallia's capital.[3] Athallia shared its name with the courier starship Athallian Messenger.[4]

The Human male Fin Mak'lath hailed from Athallia, and served as a police officer in Kalarcha. When Mak'lath's wife was killed in food riots[3] at some point by 3 ABY,[5] the widowed policeman moved to[3] the Outer Rim Territories planet[6] Bespin, where he eventually became a member of the Bespin Wing Guard security force.[3]

Behind the scenes

Athallia was first mentioned in the "Rogues Gallery" department within the one-hundred-forty-eighth issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine,[3] which was released on March 11, 2014.[7] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Athallia system, and therefore the celestial body Athallia, within grid square M-15.[6]

  5. "Rogues Gallery: The Cloud City Wing Guards" – Star Wars Insider 148 states Fin Mak'lath moved to Bespin and became a member of the Bespin Wing Guard after his wife was killed on Athallia. "Rogues Gallery" also depicts Mak'lath serving in the ranks of the Wing Guard during the events of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, which The New Essential Chronology dates to 3 ABY. Therefore, Mak'lath's wife must have perished at some point by 3 ABY.
