Adana was a celestial body located in the Adana system of the Deep Core.[1] It was the homeworld of the Faust researcher Doctor Nuvo Vindi.[2]

Behind the scenes

Adana was first mentioned in "Tanith: the Guest-Star Wars," a roleplaying adventure written by Olivier Frot and published in the March 1990 twenty-fourth issue of the French-language magazine Graal for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. In the adventure, by the time of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, Adana is claimed by official records to be the homeworld of the Human Tanith Seyze, who no longer had a family and consequently joined the Alliance. In actuality, Seyze was neither Human nor from Adana, instead being a vampiric entity that fed on the psychic energy of her victims.[3] The adventure is considered noncanonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[4]

The first canonical mention of Adana in the Legends continuity was in the 2010 reference book Star Wars: The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia by Jason Fry.[2] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Adana system, and therefore the celestial body, in grid square L-10.[1]
