Jedha

Jedha, also known as the Pilgrim Moon, was a moon orbiting the Mid Rim planet of NaJedha.

Description
Jedha City, or the Holy City, was one of the moon's settlements.

Rebel activity
Uprisings against the military of the Galactic Empire occurred on Jedha and other worlds. The Cavern Angels, part of Saw Gerrera's Partisans, aquired T-65B X-wing starfighters on Jedha, and Gerrera made his hideout in the Catacombs of Caldera.

Milvayne Authority lawman Tam Posla pursued criminal surgeons Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba to Jedha, beyond his jurisdiction, and there met the Decraniated prototype Caysin Bog, with whom he eventually fell in love. They evacuated the Holy City together ahead of its destruction.

Jyn's mission
Sent by the Massassi Group on Yavin 4, Rebel agents Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor conducted a mission to Jedha to uncover information on Erso's father, Galen Erso, and the Death Star project. Despite a rocky partnership they infiltrated Jedha using the UT-60D U-wing LTMR-20, and while on the moon K-2SO attempted to convince a squad of stormtroopers that Erso and Andor were his prisoners. Having agreed to set up a meeting between the Alliance and Gerrera's Partisans, Jyn held little faith over a fond reunion. Jyn reunited with Saw but was subjected to penetrative interrogation by his Bor, leaving her catatonic. Nonetheless, her endurance impressed Saw, and he showed her a holographic message from Galen.

Destruction of Jedha City
Jedha's Holy City was destroyed during the Galactic Civil War, leveled by the Death Star with a single blast of its superlaser as a demonstration of the battle station's destructive power by Director Orson Krennic. Jyn and Cassian's team escaped the wave of destruction aboard LMTR-20, though Gerrera was killed when the destructive shockwave reached his hideout. Jedha was left in ruins.

Post-destruction
"We failed to find the holomap to Master Skywalker in our Guild archives, or on the Palace on Coruscant, the Corellian Navigation Institute, or Hosnian Prime, or the ruins of Jedha and Ossus and Scarif. If we had found the map, things might be different."

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin became known as the despised butcher of Jedha, as well as other worlds including Antar 4, Geonosis, and Ghorman, assuming control of the Death Star after the Holy City's destruction and overseeing further tests on Scarif and Alderaan. The events of Jedha affected Princess Leia Organa, leading her to wonder about her place in the galaxy following the Battle of Yavin.

During the New Republic era, Wookiees Lumpawaroo and Lowbacca embarked upon a search for the holomap leading to Luke Skywalker, and visited Jedha among other worlds. They failed to find their prize on the ruined world, eventually returning to Kashyyyk.

Inhabitants
Jedha was, as with the likes of Bardotta, Hosra, Ramu-Da, and Arthon, a world with a strong Force tradition, and where religious adherents commonly clung to concepts of the afterlife. Followers of Palawa operated Teräs Käsi dojos on Jedha and trained groups like the Guardians of the Whills. Many Church of the Force recruiters ended up on Jedha. Zealots of Psusan roamed the Holy City's dusty streets, though cultist Agira Nyrat forewent Jedha for the Coruscant club scene. Members of the Central Isopter, a death-worshiping cult, were on Jedha at the time of the Holy City's destruction, though survivors continued the cult in revenant form.

Saw Gerrera's Partisans conducted operations on Jedha, where their Cavern Angels obtained several T-65B X-wing starfighters. The former Cloud-Rider Benthic joined Gerrera's Partisans on Jedha. Gerrera kept a tamed Mairan Bor, Bor Gullet, in a pen in his Jedha lair.
