Thakwaa was a terrestrial astronomical object located in the Outer Rim Territories and Western Reaches regions and positioned at the coordinates I-19 on the Standard Galactic Grid. The Red Isles was a location on Thakwaa, where the Rebel Alliance pilot Nath Tensent and his astromech droid T5 had to spend a night some time prior to the Battle of Endor of 4 ABY. For protection against flies, T5 convinced Tensent to create an ointment from plant stems, which had a side effect of causing rashes. According to Tensent, nothing interesting occurred during his time on Thakwaa, and the two departed several days later.
Thakwaa was first introduced in the current Star Wars canon via a map included in the 2016 Fantasy Flight Games roleplaying boxed set Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet Thakwaa was first mentioned in X-Wing: Iron Fist, a novel written by Aaron Allston and published in 1998 as the sixth installment in the Star Wars: X-Wing series.
