"The Imperial Navy have claimed another victory in the war against the ruthless rebellion, taking out a capital ship in the Altyr system. Commander Folimar stated the battle is a brisk reminder of the Empire's superior force."
―Dorna Parros, HoloNet News — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[3]

The Altyr system was a star system located in the Morshdine sector of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and New Territories.[2] It fell within grid square O-5 of the Standard Galactic Grid[1] and shared its name[3] with the Altyr 5 Light Freighter Race.[4] In 3 ABY,[5] as part of the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Navy destroyed a capital ship belonging to the Alliance to Restore the Republic in the system. Commander Folimar called the battle a "reminder of the Empire's superior force compared to the rebels," which was quoted in coverage of the battle by reporter Dorna Parros on the HoloNet News.[3]
