The Bormter system was a part of Wild Space.[1] It contained the planet Bormter.[2]

Behind the scenes

Publication information

The star system containing Bormter was first introduced as the Svekk system in "The Galaxy Dragon and crew," an article written by Bill Slavicsek and published in the 200th issue of Dragon Magazine in December 1993 for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[2] The article is considered noncanonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[3]

The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas later placed the "Bormter" system in grid square H-14.[1] The book's co-author Jason Fry has stated that the star systems listed in the book's Appendix section are named after the most prominent planets or celestial bodies located in those systems. This article therefore considers the existence of the planet Bormter to be canonical with respect to the Legends continuity.[4]

The Svekk system lay within one of the frontier areas of Wild Space. It contained at least five planets, with Bormter, the homeworld of the reptiloid sentients known as Bormterrans, occupying the fifth orbital position.[2]

Shortly after the death of Galactic Emperor Palpatine during the Battle of Endor[2] in 4 ABY,[5] Imperial Moff Delurin declared himself Warlord of Wild Space and used the prototype Dragon-class Heavy Cruiser Galaxy Dragon to conquer Bormter. Delurin subsequently established a power base on the planet for an empire that he carved out in Wild Space.[2]
