A little-known world was, by the time of the Galactic Empire, a colony of Nothoiin,[1] a planet in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[2] In 19 BBY,[3] Baron Shkan-Shkan Yew—one of the richest men in the galaxy at that point—officially served as the ruler of the colony world, a fact known to Imperial Senator Mon Mothma.[1]
Behind the scenes
The colony world was mentioned in the 2025 novel Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear, written by Alexander Freed as the first installment of the Star Wars: Reign of the Empire trilogy.[1]

Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss on Penguin Books' official United Kingdom website (backup link) establishes the events of Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear take place thirteen years before the events of Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss. 
Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY.
