Belsavis was an astronomical object located in the Bozhnee sector's Belsavis system within an intersecting portion of the Outer Rim Territories[3] and the Western Reaches.[2] Situated at the coordinates L-18 on the Standard Galactic Grid, it was connected via hyperspace route to the astronomical object Karfeddion[1] and was located near the Thull's Shroud, a location where the Nihil marauder group operated during the High Republic Era.[5]
During the Imperial Era, the Galactic Empire had a penal site at Belsavis.[4] In 5 BBY,[6] the Empire sent a group of newly convicted prisoners on the[4] planet[7] Niamos, including the human Tuck Hybecks, to Belsavis to where they would carry out their sentences.[4]
Behind the scenes
Belsavis was introduced in the new Star Wars canon on a galactic map included in the article "Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Star Wars: The Force Awakens?" by Mark Newbold, published on StarWars.com on January 29, 2016. It's name was obscured in that article,[8] but Belsavis's complete name was introduced in a map included in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game,[9] an August 2016[10] Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Roleplaying boxed set.[9] Originating in Star Wars Legends continuity, Belsavis was introduced in the 1995 novel Children of the Jedi, written by Barbara Hambly.[11]
