The Murk system was located in the Moddell sector, a subsector of the Zuma sector[2] of the Outer Rim Territories[1] in grid square H-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[2] It lay on the Sanctuary Pipeline, a hyperspace route that connected the Moddell sector moon of Endor to the[1] Sullust sector's[3] Sullust system. The Murk system was depicted on a map of the Moddell sector included with the Rebel Alliance collection of non-electronic documents known as The Rebel Files.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Murk system was introduced in the new Star Wars canon via a mention in the De Agostini magazine Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon's eighteenth issue,[4] which was published around May 6, 2015.[5] It was then identified by name in "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com[2] on June 24, 2025. Both works were authored by Jason Fry.[6]
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Murk system was introduced in the article "Endor and the Moddell Sector," which was published in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine[7] on February 22, 2002.[8] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas subsequently provided the system with its first visual depiction.[9]
