"I've just secured the rights to Keptik and its moons."
―Domina Tagge, to Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra[3]

Keptik was an astronomical object with at least two moons[3] that was located in the Keptik system within the Carrion sector of the Outer Rim[1] and New Territories.[2] It was situated on grid square J-4 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] Around 3 ABY,[4] the Tagge Corporation leader Lady Domina Tagge secured the rights to Keptik and its moons during a meeting.[3]

  4. The events of Doctor Aphra (2020) 35 take place during the Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover event that StarWars.com Charles Soule Unleashes Dark Droids on StarWars.com (backup link) in turn places after Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters. Star Wars: Timelines dates War of the Bounty Hunters to 3 ABY. In addition, the flashbacks of Star Wars (2020) 50, which occur after the events of Star Wars (2020) 43 and thereby also after those of Dark Droids, take place approximately twenty-two years after Sheev Palpatine becoming Galactic Emperor, which Timelines dates to 19 BBY. Therefore Doctor Aphra (2020) 35 must be set around 3 ABY.
