Kuna ' s Eye system The Kuna ' s Eye system was a star system in the Outer Rim Territories ' Zuma sector , within the Inner Zuma Region and the Moddell subsector . It was less than 1 , 000 light - years above the galactic plane — a trait that made it a part of the thin disk , which spanned 1 , 000 light - years vertically on both sides of the plane . The system contained the young blue giant Kuna ' s Eye and a protoplanetary disk , which was rich in minerals , metals , and alloys . As of 43 ABY , prospectors frequented the system , with a cobbled - together space station and shadowport , the Mote , serving their needs . Description . The Kuna ' s Eye system was located in the Outer Rim Territories at grid coordinates H - 16 , west of the region known as the Western Reaches and southeast of Wild Space . The system was located within the Inner Zuma Region of the Zuma sector , inside the Moddell subsector . Its distance from the horizontal galactic plane was less than 1 , 000 light - years , which placed it within the thin disk , a tract of space whose vertical distance from the plane was no more than 1 , 000 light - years . The system ' s primary star was Kuna ' s Eye , a blue giant that , along with the other Kuna worlds , formed part of the Kuna constellation visible from the planet Maya Kovel . History . Members of two sentient species , the Tulgah and the Jinda s , attempted to colonize the system from the factory world Eriadu circa 130 BBY , but their starship , the " Free Enterprise " , crashed on the forested moon Endor instead . The sun of the system , Kuna ' s Eye , was considered to be young as of 43 ABY and was orbited by a protoplanetary disk of dust and rock that was rich in minerals , metals , and alloys . At the edge of the disk was the Mote , a cobbled - together space station and shadowport dedicated to fulfilling the needs of the prospectors that were attracted to the system . The station hosted 1 , 000 individuals of various species . Behind the scenes . The first mention of the Kuna ' s Eye system was in the article " Endor and the Moddell Sector " — written by Craig Robert Carey , Daniel Wallace , and Jason Fry — in " Star Wars Gamer 9 " , released on March 1 , 2002 . This appearance detailed the orbital bodies , the primary star , and the sectoral location . An indirect mention was found within the article " Castaways of Endor , " authored by Wallace and Amy Pronovost and released on December 1 , 2008 , for StarWars . com ' s registration - exclusive fan club , , which has since been retired . The system was also mentioned in " The Essential Atlas " , a Del Rey reference book written by Fry and Wallace and released on August 18 , 2009 . The Kuna ' s Eye system was given an entry and placed on a map in the " A Closer Look : Endor and the Moddell Sector " chapter , which supplied descriptions for various astronomical objects , planets , and stars and also gave historical references and illustrations . The sectoral location of the system is a subject of confusion . " The Essential Atlas " states that it is located in the Moddell subsector , which is said to be a freestanding subsector , while the newer says that the Moddell is a subsector of the Zuma sector .
