"Hutch is gone. He was my friend. He piloted me once to a mission in the Belassar system."
―Princess Leia Organa[3]

The Belassar system was a star system located in the Sarla sector of the Expansion Region.[1] Early during the Galactic Civil War,[4] prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Empire moved to suppress Rebel Alliance activity in the system. In response, Princess Leia Organa and the Alderaanian consular ship Tantive IV,[5] accompanied by pilot Jon "Dutch" Vander,[3] arrived to clandestinely support the Rebels.[5] From at least 12 ABY to 17 ABY, the Bellasar system fell within the borders of New Republic–controlled space.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Belassar system was first mentioned in the 1998 young-readers story Star Wars Journal: Captive to Evil, written by Jude Watson.[3]

The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Belassar system in grid square J-8 and expanded on Leia Organa's mission there,[5] as first recounted in Watson's story.[3]
