The unincorporated Bosphian provinces was an informal sector of the Outer Rim Territories[3] and the New Territories[2] that contained the Bosph system[3] and the Ueda system during the High Republic Era, a time when most of the Outer Rim was independent of representation in the Galactic Republic. The Ueda system in Standard Galactic Grid square Q-3 was the home of the planet Ueda and its moon Uedar. Ueda was at one point the site of lucrative logging and milling operations, with marauders striking at the world for its processed materials.[1]
By 132 BBY,[4] Ueda had become a signatory into the Republic within the last eighty years and the operations had ceased.[1] In that year,[4] the Sith assassin Mae-ho Aniseya traveled to Ueda and murdered the Jedi Master Indara[5] in Point Ueda. Currencies in use on Ueda at that time included Republic dataries and Bosphian sestertius.[1] By the time of the Galactic Empire over a hundred years later, the provinces had been formally incorporated as the Bosph sector.[6]
Behind the scenes
The unincorporated Bosphian provinces appeared in "Lost / Found,"[5] the first episode of the live-action television series Star Wars: The Acolyte, which aired on Disney+ on June 4, 2024.[7] The sector then identified in the 2025 reference book Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] Author Jason Fry later confirmed that the provinces and the Bosph sector, which was recanonized by the "Star Systems of the Galaxy" appendix of star systems, were one and the same.[6]
