Behind the scenes

Phelbos was first mentioned in the StarWars.com Databank entry for Vizsla Keep 09, which went up^[2] after the Keep appeared in^[5] the third episode of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels' third season, "The Holocrons of Fate,"^[6] which aired on October 1, 2016, on Disney XD.^[7] While Phelbos itself has yet to be shown, its asteroid rings appeared in the third issue of the comic series Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir,^[3] released on July 16, 2014,^[8] as well as "The Holocrons of Fate."^[5]

With release of "Star Systems of the Galaxy," an appendix published with the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com^[9] on June 24, 2025—with both being authored by Jason Fry^[10]—Phelbos was placed within the Phelbos system,^[9] which conflicted with its placing in the Ord Mantell system established by Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir 3.^[1] The update to the appendix that was released on October 13 of the same year subsequently removed mention of the Phelbos system.^[11]
