Legend

this planet, located within the Koornacht Cluster, was one of the worlds to which the Fallanassi fled when the Empire attacked Lucazec. Wialu was one of the Fallanassi who fled there, and she sensed the danger of the Yevetha Great Purge. The planet was known in the New Republic's astrogation catalog as FAR202019S, and was known to other as Doornik-628E, the fifth planet of the Doornik-628 System. It was originally discovered by a group of H'kig idealists who were fleeing persecution on the planet Rishi. The name of the planet was derived from a series of H'Kig glyphs which describe basic elements of the H'kig religion. The first three are too sacred to write out - jeh teh peh - and form the "J't'p'" portion of the name. The last piece - tan - not so sacred. The Yevetha wiped out the H'kig settlement on the planet, reducing it to scroched ruins while exterminating all but a few of the religious followers. J't'p'tan measured some 11,200 kilometers in diameter. Its day lasted 22 standard hours, and its year encompassed 407 local days.
