"And there is another concern on the horizon. There has been a point-two percent reduction in tourism revenue on Garqi."

―Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum

Garqi was a terrestrial astronomical object in the Outer Rim Territories and New Territories. Located on the Braxant Run hyperspace route, it was situated at grid square K-5 of the Standard Galactic Grid. Garqi produced caf, with the caf plant sector acting as a supply of tourism in the off season.

In 33 BBY, labor action took place in Garqi's caf plant sector. Tourism revenue on Garqi saw a reduction of point-two percent—more than what was predicted by models—with an economic working group headed by Senator Palpatine of the Galactic Republic theorizing that it was a result of the labor action. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum and Palpatine presented the issue in a meeting with Jedi Masters Adi Gallia and Yoda. Gallia realized that Valorum was suggesting the Jedi Order send Jedi Knights to assist in the negotiations; the chancellor sarcastically remarked that the alternative of sending them on holiday would not help before moving on to another matter.

Behind the scenes

In the new Star Wars canon, Garqi was first mentioned on a map included in the 2016 Fantasy Flight Games roleplaying boxed set Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game.
