The Pesmenben system was located in the Teraab sector,[1] a part of the Slice portion of[2] the Mid Rim.[1] It contained the planet Pesmenben IV in its fourth orbital position.[3] By 0 BBY,[4] the Human businessman Lando Calrissian tricked Pesmenben IV's Imperial governor into leasing the planet via a scam that involved lithium.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Pesmenben system was first mentioned in "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in issue thirteen of the Voyages SF magazine, which placed the system in the Trebela sector; however, as the magazine was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process,[5] it is considered non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[6] The first canonical mention of the Pesmenben system was in the 2008 reference book The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas subsequently placed it in grid square Q-11,[2] and its StarWars.com Online Companion overrode the Voyages SF placement by establishing that the Pesmenben system was a part of the Teraab sector.[1]
