Actlyon was a terrestrial planet located in the Outer Rim Territories that had a cantina in the lower district of its Actlyon City. In 34 ABY, the smuggler Ana Tolla's crew docked their starship and the Meridian—the personal vessel of one of the group's members, Izal Garsea—in the world's port in order to restock before their next mission.
The smugglers visited the Actlyon City cantina on their last night on the world, deciding to leave Garsea behind on the planet instead of including her in their next endeavor. Shortly afterward, the Resistance spy Pall Gopal met with Garsea in the establishment and hired her to deliver a package for him to the collector Dok-Ondar on Batuu. The smuggler departed Actlyon shortly afterward, setting a hyperspace course for her new destination.
The terrestrial planet Actlyon was located in the Western Reaches portion of the Outer Rim Territories, situated in grid square K-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid. One hyperspace route linked the world to both the Rycep asteroid belt and the Outer Rim planet Taul, while another connected it to the Outer Rim planet Batuu. Actlyon had mountainous terrain, rusty skies, and a Type I atmosphere that was breathable to multiple species. By 34 ABY, the world's atmosphere was polluted and foul-smelling.
While on Actlyon, Pall Gopal searched for a way to transport a package to Dok-Ondar (pictured) on Batuu for the Resistance.
By the time of the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the musician Pall Gopal settled on Actlyon and began playing with the band Sentient 7 and the Clankers in an Actlyon City cantina on Actlyon. At some point, Gopal started operating as a Resistance spy on the world. He eventually acquired a package that the Resistance needed to send to the Ithorian collector Dok-Ondar on Batuu and began searching for a way to transport it to its destination safely. In 34 ABY, the historian and author Eloc Throno included Actlyon on a map in his Batuu guidebook, Traveler's Guide to Batuu.
The same year, the crew of the smuggler Ana Tolla visited Actlyon after concluding their last mission, parking their ship—and the light freighter Meridian, the personal vessel of the crew member Izal Garsea—in the planet's port. After its arrival, Gopal recognized the Meridian, having originally sold the light freighter to Garsea's mother, Ixel Garsea. He later looked at the ship's manifest, learning that Izal was the Meridians current owner, and resolved to contact the woman to transport his package offworld.
While on Actlyon, Tolla's crew prepared for their next endeavor by resupplying their ship and completing repairs. Izal begrudgingly completed several tasks for her boss, finding the errands redundant and a waste of time when she could instead be upgrading the Meridian. However, Tolla informed the rest of her colleagues that she intended not to bring Izal on their next engagement to Batuu, despite the smuggler's boyfriend, Damar Olin, remaining part of the group.
On the crew's last day on Actlyon—which was also Izal's eighteenth birthday—Tolla led her companions to an Actlyon City cantina for a celebratory night out before they departed on their next mission. Though most of the smugglers enjoyed their meal and drinks, Izal felt disgruntled by Olin's dismissive behavior and Tolla's disparaging treatment of her. She then fetched drinks for the rest of Tolla's crew, overhearing the cantina's patrons discuss the recent activities of the Resistance fighting the First Order.
Ana Tolla's crew abandoned Izal Garsea on Actlyon, leaving on their next mission to Batuu (pictured) without her.
Meanwhile, while playing with his band, Gopal surveyed Garsea from across the cantina and recognized the woman. Though he attempted to catch her attention by winking at her from his place on the stage, Izal ignored him. Shortly after she returned to her table, the smuggler confronted Olin for ruining her birthday, as he had not kept his promise of making the day special. However, their conversation was interrupted when a gang of bounty hunters raided the establishment, kidnapping a Trandoshan waitress for her debts. Tolla departed the cantina with her crew as the skirmish began and left Garsea behind, not intending to take the woman with them on the Batuu mission. After making their way to the world's port, the smugglers left Actlyon.
Left alone in the cantina, Izal was approached by Gopal, who then explained his connection with her parents. Following some negotiation, she agreed to transport his package to Dok-Ondar on Batuu, with half the payment upfront and half upon delivery. The smuggler then slept on the Meridian for a few hours before departing Actlyon to deliver the package. As she exited the world's atmosphere, Izal calculated her route to Batuu and then jumped into hyperspace. Later, while on Batuu, the smuggler thought about her time on Actlyon. When she and Olin encountered each other on Batuu, the latter assured her he would not have left with Tolla's crew in Actlyon City if he had not been sure she would be fine on her own. Not long thereafter, however, Izal considered that the group's abandonment of her on Actlyon had been for the best as she helped save the Batuuan farmer Kat Saka's farm, which Tolla's crew had been trying to sabotage.
By the time of the First Order–Resistance War, the Rodian Pall Gopal resided on Actlyon. The planet was also home to hundreds of smugglers and pirates. In 34 ABY, individuals of several species were employed in an Actlyon City cantina, including Gopal, a Trandoshan, and two Twi'leks.
Actlyon City was a city located on the world that had a lower district with a cantina featuring a patio and a stage area for musicians to perform. Actlyon also had a port, which smugglers and pirates used to land their ships.
Actlyon first appeared in A Crash of Fate, a 2019 young-adult novel written by Zoraida Córdova.
