Editing Star Wars 4000 Years After Yavin (section)

===Unknown Regions===<!-- This section is linked from [[Mara Jade]] -->
The '''Unknown Regions''' lie beyond the region known as Wild Space. They are uncharted by any of the known galactic powers.

After the [[Mandalorian]] War, [[Revan]] and [[Malak]] led a fifth of the Republic fleet, claiming to be searching for more Mandalorians, into this region. It should be noted that these regions were considered unknown at the time, but were later included in the outer rim because the "unknown" regions are only uncharted regions for the given time. The fleet vanished for months and was presumed lost. Later the fleet returned with ships of alien design and started attacking the Republic. This led to the start of the [[Jedi Civil War]]. After the Jedi Civil War, Revan fled into these unknown regions again and has not returned since. It is rumored he went to fight the true [[Sith]]. Little is known of where he went or when Revan will return, but many are waiting. The [[Jedi Exile]] went to the Unknown Regions 5 years later to help Revan with this task. The fate of the two Jedi remains unknown, though Jedi Master [[Kreia]] remarked that the "true Sith" lay in this area, and were presumably hostile to the rest of the galaxy at the time.

[[List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Csilla|Csilla]], home to the [[Chiss]], is one of the only known inhabited planets in the Unknown Regions. The Chiss [[Grand Admiral]], [[Thrawn]], was tasked by [[Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]] to lead a pacification mission into the Unknown Regions, a duty that Thrawn carried out until five years after the Emperor's death. Furthermore, the ancient insectoid [[Killik]] race inhabits this region of space; their territory borders Chiss space. [[Lehon|Rakata Prime]], the [[Rakata (Star Wars)|Rakatan]] homeworld, is also located in the Unknown Regions. Another species that seems to live in the Unknown Regions are the Vagaari.  The [[Ssi-Ruuvi]] [[Imperium]] also lies in the Unknown Regions.

In the ''New Jedi Order'' book series, the living planet of [[List of Star Wars planets (W-Z)#Zonama Sekot|Zonama Sekot]] flees into the Unknown Regions after being attacked by the "far outsiders" ([[Yuuzhan Vong]]). The [[Jedi]] find record of the planet's travels after extensive searching, and the Jedi Luke Skywalker leads a team of other Jedi to search for the world in the Unknown Regions; record shows it repelled the Yuuzhan Vong in the past and the Jedi now seek a new ally to help once again thwart the invading Yuuzhang Vong. They eventually are successful and persuade the living planet to attempt a hazardous return to known space.
