The Bakura sector was a sector[3] on the outer edges of the Outer Rim Territories[4] that contained the Cattamascar, Gymelo, Timora and Cermau systems.[1] While the Bakura Trace[2] hyperspace route passed through the sector, linking Cermau with Bakura,[4] the Bakura system itself lay in Wild Space and was not considered part of the sector.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Bakura sector was first mentioned in several Star Wars Legends literature, including Karen Traviss's 2006 novel Republic Commando: Triple Zero and The Essential Atlas Online Companion. It later appeared in the non-canon LEGO Star Wars: The Resistance Rises episode "Poe to the Rescue," which first debuted on February 15, 2016.
When asked about the Bakura system's exclusion from the Bakura sector, author Jason Fry stated that its absence was intentional, as Wild Space does not have sectors and Bakura likely chose to remain independent of the official sector.[5]
Non-canon content
C-3PO informed Poe Dameron that the Resistance Admiral Ackbar was being detained aboard a First Order Resurgent-class Star Destroyer in that sector. Using a stolen AAL-1971/9.1 Troop Transport, the Resistance managed to rescue Ackbar from captivity.[6]
In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it is mistakenly called the "Pakora sector."[7]

This assumes that the name "Bakura Trace," as used in Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 18 Guide to the Galaxy: Sectors of the Galaxy, applies to the canon hyperspace route depicted on the map that matches the depiction of the Star Wars Legends route with the same name in The Essential Atlas per
Jason Fry (@jasoncfry.bsky.social.) on Bluesky (post on January 3, 2025): "They are indeed the same. Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).
