The Bastion system was a star system located in the Braxant sector of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the New Territories in the galaxy.[2] The system was situated in grid square K-3 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] It contained the industrialized planet Bastion.[4]
Behind the scenes
The Bastion system was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map article on StarWars.com[1] on June 24, 2025. Both works were authored by Jason Fry.[5] In Star Wars Legends, it was identified as the Sartinaynian system and first appeared in Specter of the Past, the first book in Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn Duology by Timothy Zahn.[6]

Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Rogue One? on StarWars.com (article) (backup link), 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).
