- "This whole place makes me nervous. Why isn't there anything on either the planet or system in the datafiles? It's got a name, someone must have been here once."
- ―Elkin
Nirauan was a planet located in second of three inner planets in the Nirauan system. It was inhabited by the indigenous avian Qom Jha and Qom Qae species, and the Hand of Thrawn garrison of Chiss and human personnel.
Description
The second satellite of a weak red star, it was an arboreal world with a landscape of jungle interrupted by small lakes. The Qom Jha and Qom Qae species lived on the world, and while they were Force-sensitive and sentient, they did not develop a technological culture.
History
- "There's some kind of fortress sitting on a bluff at the far end of the ravine."
- ―Mara Jade
The only known point of contact with the wider galaxy was the ancient fortress known as the High Tower or Hand of Thrawn. Built of the same black, energy-absorbing stone as the ancient citadel on Hijarna, and set above a cave system inhabited by Qom Jha and Qom Qae groups, it was a relic of an ancient, long-forgotten war. Damaged and deserted after what appeared to be a superlaser strike, the base was eventually reoccupied by forces loyal to Grand Admiral Thrawn, during or soon after the Galactic Civil War. The fortress also attracted other Imperials to the world, such as the pilot Soontir Fel. Thrawn and his forces modified the base with a blend of Chiss and Imperial technology. In this period, the High Tower boasted command facilities comparable to a Star Destroyer, heavy defensive weaponry, and a hangar stocked with a full wing of TIE scouts. Hidden in the caves beneath the castle were a library computer and a clone of Thrawn himself, awaiting activation in a Spaarti cloning cylinder.
However, in 19 ABY, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade managed to inflict serious damage on the base, flooding the library computer, killing the clone, and crashing the Jade's Fire into the main hangar.[2]
