Behind the scenes

Publication information

The Karavis system was first mentioned in "The Galaxy Dragon and crew," an article written by Bill Slavicsek and published in the two-hundredth issue of the Dragon magazine in December 1993 for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The article is considered noncanonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[4] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas later placed the Karavis system in grid square K-4.[2]

The Galaxy Dragon was constructed in the Karavis system.

The Galaxy Dragon was constructed in the Karavis system.

During the Galactic Civil War, the remote Karavis system contained a Kuat Drive Yards starship assembly line controlled by the Galactic Empire. The assembly line was used to construct the prototype Dragon-class Heavy Cruiser Galaxy Dragon.[3]

In 4 ABY,[5] while the military of the Empire made preparations to entrap the fleet of the Rebel Alliance in a confrontation in the Endor system[3] of the Zuma sector,[1] Imperial Moff Delurin oversaw a final test run of the Galaxy Dragon. As part of the test, the heavy cruiser traveled from the Karavis system to the planet Miko in the Sorella system[3] of the Colonies[1] and subjected it to an orbital bombardment as retaliation for the planet's inhabitants, the Mikoans, refusing to submit to Imperial governance.[3]
