Eriscot, a water world situated in the Mid Rim, could be found within the Haserian sector. This planet served as the original homeworld for the sentient Nejma species. These Nejma were later moved to the planet Iskalon by a group of kind, spacefaring individuals. This relocation occurred following several catastrophic events that impacted numerous water worlds, including Eriscot, approximately five millennia prior to the Galactic Civil War. During the era of the New Republic, the anthropologist known as Doctor Hoole dedicated his time to examining the remnants of these devastated worlds.
Within the Haserian sector, specifically in the Slice region of the Mid Rim, lay the Eriscot system, which contained Eriscot, a water world.
The Nejma, an aquatic and sentient species, originated on Eriscot, which was their homeworld. Around five millennia before the Galactic Civil War, a series of devastating cataclysms struck various water worlds across the galaxy, Eriscot included. These events left the native populations vulnerable, until a group of spacefaring saviors appeared. They aided in moving the affected species to Iskalon, a planet in the Mid Rim, where they eventually developed the Iskalonian culture.
During the time of the New Republic, the Shi'ido anthropologist Doctor Hoole investigated the ruins of the original homeworlds of the Iskalonians, such as Eriscot. His goal was to understand the nature of the disasters and the identity of those who helped the Iskalonians. Eriscot also received mention in The Essential Guide to Alien Species, a book that was published during the New Republic era and drew from Hoole's research, within an entry dedicated to the Iskalonians.
The initial mention of Eriscot occurred in "The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Marvel Series," an article penned by Rich Handley and Joe Bongiorno. This article appeared in the first issue of Star Wars Gamer magazine, released on September 1, 2000. The 2009 reference work, The Essential Atlas, specified the location of the Eriscot system, and thus the planet itself, as grid square Q-14.
