The noncanonical article "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are" placed the Almakar system in the Almakar sector.

The Almakar system was introduced in the 1987 rulebook for the first edition of West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Within the book, it is used in an example question that a player of the game might ask the gamemaster player, who then has to determine the difficulty for the other player's character of obtaining an answer to the question. The hypothetical question concerns the number of planets in the system.[2]

"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in Voyages SF 13, placed the Almakar system in the Almakar sector.[3] The article is considered noncanonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[4] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the system in grid square N-9.[1]
