The Sedapard Cluster was a location in the Mid Rim Territories, situated in grid square O-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] During the reign of the Galactic Empire, engines were brought from the Sedapard Cluster to the Outer Rim world of Hypori to be used in the construction of the Cosinga-class Heavy Corvette Imperialis.[2]

The Sedapard Cluster was introduced to the Star Wars canon in the "Starship Fact File" section of the sixty-third issue of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon De Agostini magazine series,[2] The section was written by Mark Newbold[3] and released around March 16, 2016.[4] Alongside Jonathan Hicks, he helped spawn the creation of the Sedapard Cluster through twenty audio stories recorded between 1986 and 1988.[5] In those works, the cluster was located 3000 parsecs above the galactic plane and contained seven sectors—Setnin, Ki-KI, Quarshannel, Brother, Tak-Atane, Daz-Raa, and Parsnec.[6]
While writing for Build the Millennium Falcon, Newbold introduced in the magazine that Dy-Lar 3 ion engines were built by Desando Dynamics. In unlicensed works, he established Desando Dynamics was based on the world of A-desando, in the Desando system of the Setnin sector.[6]
