Tarawa was a celestial body[3] located in the Tarawa system, a part of the Steniplis sector[1] in the Western Reaches portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] At some point between 2 BBY and 0 BBY, the Rebel Alliance prevailed over the Galactic Empire at a confrontation at Tarawa.[3]
Behind the scenes
Tarawa was mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[3] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Tarawa system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square L-19.[1] Tarawa shares its name with the Pacific Ocean atoll Tarawa, where the United States was victorious over the Empire of Japan in a battle of World War II.[4]
