The Maraken system was a star system located in the Oktos sector of the Mid Rim Territories. It was located in grid square R-12 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The Battle of Maraken took place[2] in the vicinity of the system.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Maraken system was first mentioned in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published alongside the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com[1] on June 24, 2025. Both were written by Jason Fry.[4]

(In reply to: "Jason, is Gendrah-Narvin a city country, star, or planet?")" (backup link) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), and his Atlas co-author Daniel Wallace, stated their intention to create the approximate locations for numerous events based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Battle of Maraken in relation to the Maraken system.
