"The D'Armin Syndicate attacked one of our supply ships yesterday. Word must have spread…"
"Have a battleship cut them off at the Feriae Junction. Take out their engines and weapons. After a day, have them pushed into the sun." - ―Domina Tagge and her secretary Lapin Tagge
The Feriae Junction was a celestial body with a sun.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] in retaliation for the D'Armin Syndicate's attack on a Tagge Corporation supply ship, Lady Domina Tagge gave orders for a battleship to cut the syndicate's forces off at the Feriae Junction and disable their engines and weapons before pushing them into the sun after a day.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Feriae Junction was introduced to the current Star Wars canon via mention in a flashback sequence of the sixth issue of the 2020 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic series, written by Alyssa Wong and published by Marvel Comics[1] on November 25 of that year. The mention of the celestial body in the issue was included in its preview on StarWars.com a week before.[3] The planet Feriae Junction originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity,[4] where it first appeared in the twenty-seventh issue of the 1977 Star Wars comic series, which was written by Archie Goodwin, illustrated by Carmine Infantino, and published by Marvel Comics[5] on June 26, 1979.[6]
While the 1979 comic identified the planet as "Junction,"[5] it was later given the full name "Feriae Junction" in "The Hunt Within: Valance's Tale: Part 4," a Wizards.com roleplaying article containing "Mission 4: The Doom of Ultaar," a scenario for use with the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Miniatures game. The article was written by Jason Fry and published on January 7, 2005.[4] The 2016 Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Roleplaying boxed set Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game reintroduced the celestial body "Junction" into the current canon, but no connection has been made between it and Feriae Junction.[7]
