Balamak was a terrestrial astronomical object[4] located in the Balamak system in the Taldot sector of the Mid Rim Territories[1] along the[5] Great Kashyyyk Branch hyperspace route.[3]
Sometime before the Battle of Scarif, a battle was fought on Balamak, the battle was denoted by red lining on the garb of senator Vasp Vaspar.[4] The population of Balamak was brutally suppressed by the New Republic according to the news feeds of the First Order. The stormtrooper FN-2187 saw one such broadcast in a morale session during his training shortly before his deployment to the planet Jakku.[6]
Behind the scenes
Balamak was first mentioned in Tatooine Manhunt, an adventure supplement for the Star Wars Legends Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game made by West End Games. The book was published in 1988 and was written by Bill Slavicsek and Daniel Greenberg. The location was confirmed to be canon when it was mentioned in the "Finn" section of the anthology collection Before the Awakening, which was written by Greg Rucka and released in 2015.

This assumes that the name "Great Kashyyyk Branch," as used in Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 43 Guide to the Galaxy: Kashyyyk's Fight for Freedom, 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).
