The Raspar system was located in the Tragan Cluster,[1] a part of the New Territories portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Raspar system was introduced in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, authored by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, which placed it in grid square N-5.[2] The name of the system built upon the mention of the moon Raspar-6 in the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that combines creature designs and photographs from various projects of George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars franchise, with original text by Bob Carrau.[3]

In Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, Raspar-6 is described as a terrestrial moon on which an atomic blast erupted at some point. A subsequent weather forecast—which referred to Raspar-6 as a "delinquent moon"—for the West Fissure region of an agricultural planet prognosticated that the explosion would affect the planet's atmosphere, potentially causing months-long climate changes in the West Fissure area.[3] Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas is non-canonical[4] with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[5]
