- "There we go. All the comforts of home."
- ―Dubrak Qennto
A small yellow sun was located in an Unknown Regions star system, approximately 250 light-years from that region's border with Wild Space.[1] In 27 BBY,[3] when the light freighter Bargain Hunter arrived in the star system after a blind hyperspace jump from the Outer Rim Territories, the freighter's captain, Dubrak Qennto, noted his satisfaction at the presence of the star, in contrast disapprovingly characterizing interstellar space, into which the original jump had previously deposited the starship, as "dark and cold and lonely."[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The star appeared in the 2006 novel Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn.[1] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas indirectly placed it in grid square I-7.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Outbound Flight
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Using the information presented in Outbound Flight about the distance of the star system containing the star from the point where the Bargain Hunter emerged after making a blind hyperspace jump and the distance of said point from the Wild Space-Unknown Regions border, combined with the visual depiction of the latter distance given in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, the star can be placed in what The Essential Atlas identifies as grid square I-7.
- ↑ The Essential Reader's Companion dates the events of Outbound Flight to 27 BBY.
