Aruza was a celestial body[3] located in the Aruza system of the Expansion Region[1] and the Interior.[2] It was situated in grid square I-14 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] Aruza was the homeworld of the Aruzan female Manaroo.[3] By 3 ABY,[4] Manaroo had become indebted to the Hutt crime lord[3] Jabba Desilijic Tiure[5] and was held as a prisoner by Jabba[3] within his palace[6] on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine as leverage against her boyfriend Dengar.[3]

Aruza was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the 2024 reference book Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy.[3] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet Aruza first appeared in "Payback: The Tale of Dengar," a short story written by Dave Wolverton that was published in the 1996 anthology Tales of the Bounty Hunters.[7]
