"Internal Affairs calls their field agents "keyns," after a renown [sic] tracking carnivore of the Gontzol system, […]."
―An Imperial Intelligence report[3]

The Gontzol system was located within the Southern Core portion of the Colonies.[2] It was home to the creatures known as keyns.[3]

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Intelligence mentioned the Gontzol system in a report prepared for an Imperial Grand Moff, which in turn was added by Rebel Alliance historian Major Arhul Hextrophon to a compilation of Imperial documents for Alliance Supreme Commander Mon Mothma and other Rebel officers.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Gontzol system was first mentioned in the 1989 Imperial Sourcebook, written by Greg Gorden for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[4] "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in Voyages SF 13, placed the system in the Nembus sector. Since that article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process,[5] it was considered non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[6] and the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas instead placed the Gontzol system in grid square L-13,[2] which the StarWars.com Online Companion to the book further depicted as being located outside the Nembus sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[7]
