The Qiilura sector was located in the Mid Rim Territories. The sector was situated on the Celanon Spur and Entralla Route hyperspace routes, which connected it to the Bright Jewel and Dohu sectors.[1] The Qiilura sector contained the Qiilura and Yout systems, which were situated in grid square L-7 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[2] The Yout system contained[3] the planet Yout, which had at least twelve moons.[4] In 22 BBY,[5] the assassin droid KRONOS-327, employee of crime lord Ziro the Hutt, returned to Ziro's Palace on the planet Coruscant after an unsuccessful mission to the twelfth moon of Yout.[4]

Behind the scenes

The Qiilura sector was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the forty-eighth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[1] in an article written by Tim Veekhoven,[6] published around December 2, 2015.[7] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Qiilura sector was introduced in Hard Contact, a 2004 novel authored by Karen Traviss as the first installment of the Republic Commando series.[8] In 2012, the sector was given its first visual depiction on a map designed by Modi and published in "Essential Atlas Extra: Sectors of the Mid Rim,"[9] a feature of the StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas.[10]
