Magmar

"A hotfoot chase through the calderas of Magmar will go wrong unless you're carrying a narrow-band spectral filter and a composite armor suit that's been furnace-tested to 1,700 degrees."
―Chentu Chek, Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook[3]

Magmar was a terrestrial celestial body[3] located in the Magmar system.[1] It was a part of the Arrowhead region, situated in the Slice portion of[2] the Core Worlds.[1] Magmar's surface featured calderas, and temperatures on it could reach 1,700 degrees.[3]

At one point between 19 BBY and 0 BBY,[4] Armory Master Chentu Chek of the Bounty Hunters' Guild included a mention of Magmar as an example in a chapter of the Updated Imperial Edition of the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook dedicated to various bounty hunter equipment. In the chapter, Chek noted that a hunt through Magmar's calderas would "go wrong" unless the bounty hunter was carrying a narrow-band spectral filter and was wearing a furnace-tested suit of composite armor.[3]

Behind the scenes

Magmar was introduced in the 2013 book The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett, which was authored by Daniel Wallace, Jason Fry, and Ryder Windham.[3] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Magmar system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square M-10.[1]

  4. ↑ The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett includes an in-universe copy of the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook. The included edition of the Handbook was published at some point following the establishment of the Galactic Empire and is annotated by Greedo, whose death is depicted in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Since The New Essential Chronology places the formation of the Empire and the events of A New Hope in 19 BBY and 0 BBY, respectively, the included edition of the Bounty Hunters' Guild Handbook must have therefore been published at some point between those two dates.
