A cloud of tumbling diamond fragments occupied the eleventh orbital position in the[2] Colonies'[1] Aur system. It was widely believed that the Aur Diamonds, which included the cloud as well as the world-sized diamonds Aur IX and Aur X, were created by members of the Celestial species,[2] which had disappeared from the galaxy by 30,000 BBY.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Aur system diamond cloud was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart; however, the sidebar that would have mentioned the cloud was cut before the book's release. The information regarding the diamond cloud was later 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 Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare.[2] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Aur system, and therefore the diamond cloud, in grid square J-13.[1]
