Herstell V was a terrestrial astronomical object[2] situated in the Herstell system of the Colonies.[1] It hosted the headquarters of the "Red & Black League," a criminal organization that was active during the Galactic Civil War and was named after the colors of[2] the Herstell system's[3] Herstellic currency.[2]
Behind the scenes
Herstell V was mentioned in the 1995 sourcebook Heroes & Rogues, authored by Rick Stuart and Paul Sudlow and published for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[2] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Herstell system, and therefore Herstell V, in grid square N-12.[1]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, 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 Herstellic currency in relation to the Herstell system.
