Bolad was a terrestrial astronomical object located in the Bolad system, a part of the Tharin sector[1] in the Slice portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] The Annoo-dat Blue crime lord Sise Fromm,[3] based out of the planet Annoo,[4] maintained a vacation palace on Bolad until the residence was destroyed by Fromm's son, Tig,[3] at some point by 15 BBY.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
Bolad was first mentioned in "Star Wars Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO," a roleplaying source article authored by Rich Handley and Abel G. Peña for use with the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Roleplaying Game and published in the 170th issue of the Polyhedron magazine[3] by June 3, 2004.[6] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Bolad system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square S-8.[2]
