The Giju Run was a hyperspace route[1] with one terminus at[2] the planet[5] Giju[2] in the Interior[3] and Colonies regions of the galaxy.[1] Running along the border of the Colonies and the Core Worlds,[2] the route then passed through the planet Bardotta in the Shasos sector's Bardotta system, the moon[1] Zardossa Stix, and the celestial body Deymasoll—all in the Colonies—and then terminated at the astronomical object Kitel Phard in the Core Worlds. Giju acted as a junction from the route onto the Rimma Trade Route[2] and the Herglic Alley.[4] It passed through Standard Galactic Grid squares L-13, K-13, J-13, and J-12.[2]
In 34 ABY,[6] the route was included on a partial map of the galaxy displayed on screens on board Chandrila Star Line's Star Cruiser Halcyon while it traveled from the Core Worlds' Chandrila system to the Outer Rim Territories.[7]
Behind the scenes
In the current Star Wars canon, the Giju Run was first pictured in "Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Star Wars: The Force Awakens?," an article written by Mark Newbold and published on StarWars.com on January 29, 2016.[8] It was then identified in Nexus of Power, a Star Wars Roleplaying supplement published by Fantasy Flight Games[1] on March 17, 2016.[9]
The route then appeared in-universe for the first time when it was depicted on a map viewable in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive roleplaying experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida[7] that opened to the public on March 1, 2022.[10] The Giju Run originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the Player's Guide to Tapani, a 1997 supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Paul Sudlow and Eric S. Trautmann and published by West End Games.[11]
