The Bontormia system was located in the Bortele sector, a part of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Slice.[2] It was situated in grid square R-8 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The system was the origin point of[3] the Bontormian klesplong musical instrument.[4]

Behind the scenes

The Bontormia system was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com[1] on June 24, 2025. Both works were authored by Jason Fry.[5] The system was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity via a mention in the StarWars.com Online Companion to 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry.[6]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for the Bontormian klesplong in relation to the Bontormia system.
