The Abaar sector was a sector in the Mid Rim Territories. Situated iIn grid square K-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid, it contained the Abaarian system and the Paklarn system. The Paklarn system[1] contained the planet Paklarn, where the smuggler Nevil Cygni set up an iridium smuggling operation using grist mollusk shells during the Imperial Era.[2] In 11 BBY,[3] Imperial Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo uncovered the operation and Cygni's men were arrested.[2]
