The Mantilorr system was a part of the Suolriep sector[1] in the Slice portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] It was the origin point of the entities known as Mantilorrian rat-catchers.[3][4]

Behind the scenes

The Mantilorr system was first mentioned in "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in the thirteenth issue of the Voyages SF magazine, which placed it in the Fakir sector. Since that article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process, its canonicity within the Star Wars Legends continuity was never confirmed.[5] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas subsequently placed the system in grid square S-10,[2] and the StarWars.com Online Companion to the book ultimately overrode the Voyages SF placement by instead establishing that the Mantilorr system was part of the Suolriep sector.[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 Mantilorrian rat-catcher in relation to the Mantilorr system.
