The Gorvinia system was a star system in the grid square O-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid, in the Thusa sector of the Mid Rim Territories[1] and the New Territories.[2] The drink known as Gorvinian red originated from the system.[3][4] It shared its name with gorvin snu, lizardlike creatures native to the planet Arvala-7[5] in the Arvala system in the Sevetta sector.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Gorvinia system was mentioned via the appendix Star Systems of the Galaxy, published on the StarWars.com website[1] as part of Star Wars Galaxy Map[6] on June 24, 2025. Both works were authored by Jason Fry.[7]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Gorvinian red in relation to Gorvinia system.
