The Aur system was a star system located in the Colonies[1] and the Interior.[2] It fell within grid square J-13 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1]
Behind the scenes
In the current Star Wars canon, the Aur system was mentioned in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com[1] on June 24, 2025. Both were written by Jason Fry.[3]
The Aur system originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 source book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Fry and Paul R. Urquhart, however the sidebar that would have mentioned the system was cut before the book's release. The information regarding the system was then released in 2013 as part of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles published on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and Del Rey editor Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare.[4]
