Ketzali was a planet[1] located in the Ketzali system within the Lannik Wilds sector of the galaxy's Mid Rim[3] and the Slice regions.[2] It was situated in grid square R-13 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[4] In 34 ABY,[5] the historian Eloc Throno included a map with the location of Ketzali in the book Traveler's Guide to Batuu, a book authored by Throno that detailed the planet Batuu.[1] The planet shared its name with the Ketzalian species,[6] which originated from the same star system as the planet.[7]

- ↑ Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu establishes that at the time of the book's setting the Resistance was based on Batuu. Star Wars: Timelines dates both the establishment of the Batuu Resistance base and its eventual relocation to Ajan Kloss to 34 ABY. Therefore, the in-universe guide must have been authored that year.

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. This article treats the Ketzali system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Ketzalian species.
