Nalrith was a terrestrial planet[3] located in the Nalrith system, a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Rseik sector.[1] It was the homeworld of the Nalrithians, a species of sentient insectoids.[3]
Behind the scenes
The homeworld of the Nalrithian species was indirectly mentioned in the 2008 The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Nalrith system, and therefore the planet itself, in grid square N-20.[2] Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, has stated that the star systems listed in the book's Appendix section are named after the most prominent planets or celestial bodies located in those systems. This article therefore considers the Nalrithian homeworld to be named in accordance with the Nalrith system.[4]

(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. This article treats the Nalrith system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Nalrithian species.
