“The Nice Work” that everybody on At Attin refers to is paying homage to a time period from the Excessive Republic period. The “Nice Works” had been a gaggle of initiatives set into movement by the Galactic Republic underneath the steering of Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh, a few of which included the Starlight Beacon – a large area station on the galaxy’s frontier, the development of communications relays all through the galaxy, and different technological developments.
Whereas there’s little doubt that At Attin is a planet, there’s a small chance that it might be some type of area station. As a few Reddit customers have identified, we haven’t seen what At Attin seems like from area but. When the ship launches into area from the floor, we simply see the ship go on and on. It’s additionally evident that the ship they discover has been buried for fairly some time. We now know that the Barrier appears to be pure and made from nebulous gases slightly than one thing man-made, however that doesn’t imply one thing man-made can’t nonetheless be hidden inside it.
However no matter At Attin’s bodily state, it feels just like the place is a few type of social experiment that was misplaced to time, forgotten about in a single battle or one other. This positively looks like the type of place a Supreme Chancellor would create as a part of a “Nice Works” initiative for some noble or egocentric cause, just for its true goal to be lengthy forgotten after centuries of solitude.
The Republic was clearly concerned with this place in some unspecified time in the future. Wim has republic credit. The kids know tales of the Jedi and Sith in addition to the existence of different planets, they simply aren’t conscious of the galaxy’s most up-to-date occasions. What we don’t know is strictly when At Attin was absolutely minimize off from the surface world and the way lengthy they’ve been on their very own.
At Attin may merely have been created as a spot to safeguard among the Republic’s financial sources, therefore the rumors of “everlasting treasure” and it being a “jewel” of the Outdated Republic. It additionally may have been created or based in a time of nice battle as a method to preserve the Republic and its beliefs alive. There might be previous information there that the planet is tasked with defending – therefore the variety of adults with jobs in information administration.
The reply to At Attin’s goal and placement appears to lie up to now. Simply how far up to now has but to be revealed, but it surely seems just like the Excessive Republic is an effective place to begin.
