The Yde system was first mentioned in an entry for Aanxi Raanxi Laanxi in a segment named "The Seminar Participants," written by Bob Carrau for the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that collects concept designs and photographs from various George Lucas projects.[3] Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in the book is non-canonical.[4] The entry on Laanxi did not clarify what type of location Yde was, simply suggesting it contained Desultori, another unspecified location.[3]

Sixteen years later, Yde was revealed to be a star system and was included in The Essential Atlas, a third-generation Essential Guide written by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace and published by Del Rey in August 2009.[5] The book placed the system in the Mid Rim, within the Nicandra sector.[6] The Yde system was later added to Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion, a web-exclusive series of articles intended to serve as dynamic supplement for The Essential Atlas.[5]
