The Monix system was a star system located in the Adurn sector of the Outer Rim Territories that was governed by the Democratic Republic of the Monix System.
Description[]
Location[]
The Monix system was located at H-17 on the Standard Galactic Grid in the Adurn sector in the galaxy's Outer Rim, and was close to both Wild Space and the Unknown Regions.
Astronomical objects[]
The Monix system had one star, known as Monova. It was a main sequence F-type, making it larger and hotter than average.
Monix system had a total of seven planets, one of which was habitable, along with two habitable moons. The fourth planet from the star was the gas giant Xinom Prime, and although uninhabitable, it had five moons including Xinom II, which could support life and was the homeworld of the aquatic Xinomians.
The fifth planet from the sun was the frigid and mountainous planet of Monix, the most populated planet of the system as well as its namesake. It was believed that Monix was a rogue planet pulled into the orbit of the system, because it would otherwise be impossible for a terrestrial planet to end up behind a gas giant. Monix had a similarly-named moon known as Moonix, which was habitable.
Other objects included the asteroid Daleko, which was located on the edge of the system, and the Monix system astroprison, a space station used to incarcerate dangerous criminals.
History[]
Early history[]
Millennia before any settlers arrived at the Monix system, the Xinomians evolved on Xinom II.
Around 2,000 BBY, a group of colonists discovered the Monix system, which was considered to be in Wild Space at the time. They began inhabiting Monix and its moon, and also made contact with the Xinomians.
Democratic Republic of the Monix System[]
In 536 BBY, the Democratic Republic of the Monix System (DRM) was established as the planetary government of Monix. Moonix and Xinom II later became members.
Imperial Era[]
The Galactic Empire took control of the Monix system in 18 BBY, and the Democratic Republic of the Monix System was dissolved. The people of the Monix system eventually began to support the Rebel Alliance to stop the oppression of their system. This resulted in the Monix system campaign beginning in 0 BBY. Following the Battle of Endor, the Alliance to Restore the Republic liberated Monix and Xinom II from the Empire, ending the campaign.
New Republic era and beyond[]
During the New Republic era, the Monix system was initally part of the New Republic until 5 ABY, when the Democratic Republic of the Monix System was re-established. Shortly after the Hosnian Cataclysm, the First Order invaded the Monix system, but the Republic of Monix refused to give up a second time, so the Battle of Monix ensued. The battle ended disastrously for the Monix system, resulting in the dissolution of the DRM and the greatest disaster in Monixan history. The citizens of the Monix system would later rebel against the First Order after the Battle of Exegol.
