The Phu system[4] was located in the regions known as the Colonies[1] and the Interior.[2] It was situated in grid square J-13 of the Standard Galactic Grid and contained[1] the world Phu. Phu was colonized at some point by Bardottans from the planet Bardotta.[3]

In 22 BBY,[5] a Galactic Republic task force of Venator-class Star Destroyers entered the Phu system, searching for the Separatists' heavy cruiser Malevolence during the Clone Wars. Coming under ambush, the Malevolence destroyed the Star Destroyers and fled without notice.[4] Years later, in 34 ABY,[6] the star system's location was noted on a galactic map displayed on several screens aboard the Star Cruiser Halcyon.[7]
