Adrathorpe system

The Adrathorpe system was located in Wild Space^[1] and the Interior.^[2] It was situated in grid square H-11 of the Standard Galactic Grid^[1] and lay on the Burke's Trailing smuggler hyperspace route, which linked it to the Jakku system^[3] of the Inner Rim Territories^[1] and the Jedha system^[3] of the Mid Rim Territories.^[1] At one point, the Pirate Queen Maz Kanata hid a treasure vault in the Adrathorpe system. She subsequently noted the system's location on a map included in the logbook that would come to be known as the Smuggler's Guide.^[3]

Behind the scenes

The Adrathorpe system was first mentioned in Daniel Wallace's 2018 reference book Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide.^[3] It was then identified by name 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.^[4] Although "Star Systems of the Galaxy" initially placed the Adrathorpe system in grid square I-11,^[1] the October 14, 2025^[5] update to the appendix changed its grid square to H-11.^[1]

When Fry was asked about the possibility of the Adrathorpe system's name being meant to instead refer to^[6] the Mid Rim^[7] celestial body Adratharpe 7^[8]—which was also mentioned in Smuggler's Guide^[3]—the author confirmed that it was a probable case of misspelling but that it was decided to list both Adrathorpe and the Adratharpe system in the appendix, further noting that the situation presented comic storytelling possibilities involving mixups by smugglers, referencing^[6] the humorous scene involving the names of the Alderaanians and the Aldereenians from Dave Wolverton's 1994 Star Wars Legends continuity novel The Courtship of Princess Leia.^[9]
