The Peluchia system was located in the Kurost sector,[1] in The Slice portion of[2] the Mid Rim.[1] It was the origin point of the Peluchian style of personal grooming.[3][4]

Behind the scenes

The Peluchia system was first introduced 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. The article placed it in the Altor sector and[5] erroneously[6] claimed that it was referenced in the[5] 1988[6] roleplaying adventure Strike Force: Shantipole, published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Since that article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process,[5] it was considered non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[7] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, authored by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, subsequently the Peluchia system in grid square Q-11,[2] and the StarWars.com Online Companion to the book overrode the Voyages SF 13 placement by placing the system in the Kurost sector instead.[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 the Peluchian in relation to the Peluchia system.
