Mytaranor was a bleak industrial world located in the Mytaranor system, a part of the Kashyyyk Region's Mytaranor sector in the Slice portion of the Mid Rim. The hyperlane known as the Nightroad linked it to the Tholatin system as well as the Terr'skiar sector's Pizilis system.[1]
A notorious galactic shadowport, Mytaranor was best known for its thriving slaver underground, which included such groups as the Mytaranor Slaving Council[1] that was founded at some point by 1 BBY.[2] At some point, slavers based at Mytaranor interacted with the native inhabitants of the world Bimmisaari,[1] and Graxol Kelvyyn, an Anx slave trader operating throughout the Outer Rim Territories[3] around 32 BBY,[4] associated with a network of slave smugglers of which some made their living at Mytaranor.[3] On the date 36:4:20, the Galactic Empire nationalized the megacorporation Bansche Tech[5] on the planet Chamble on the suspicion that the company was selling assassin droid components to criminal factions including Mytaranor-based slavers.[1]

The former book establishes that the Mytaranor Slaving Council existed approximately three years prior to the work's setting, therefore it must have been founded at some point by 1 BBY.
