"There are several likely gas giant worlds in remote systems that might have the Tibanna we need. I want you to survey those planets and find us a Tibanna deposit."
―Captain Eedan, to a group of Rebel Alliance agents[4]

The Lequabis system was a remote star system[4] located in the freestanding subsectors portion of[2] the Expansion Region.[1] The system contained at least one gas giant–type planet.[4]

Shortly after the Galactic Empire occupied the Cloud City settlement of[4] the Outer Rim Territories planet Bespin[3] in 3 ABY,[5] the Rebel Alliance, which until then had been acquiring Tibanna gas from Cloud City for use with blaster and laser weaponry, was forced to seek other sources of Tibanna. To that end, Captain Eedan of the Alliance's Ordnance and Supply section tasked a group of Rebel agents with surveying gas giants in several Inner Rim and Expansion Region star systems for any deposits of Tibanna.[4]

The group explored the Lequabis system in its modified YT-700 Transport, the Jackpot, but found no usable Tibanna deposits there. The Rebel scouts then continued with the search in[4] the Expansion Region's[1] Poviduze system.[4]

Behind the scenes

The Lequabis system was first mentioned in "Wind Raiders of Taloraan," an article published in the February 1995 fifth issue of West End Games' Star Wars Adventure Journal magazine. The article was written by James L. Cambias and contained a roleplaying adventure for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[4] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the star system within grid square I-14.[3]
