==Behind the scenes==
Sinton was first mentioned in the 1995 novel Darksaber, written by Kevin J. Anderson, in which the character Imperial General Sulamar alleges to have played a part in the Subjugation of Sinton. Sulamar's claim is later called into doubt once he is exposed as a fraud. Both the planet and its subjugation were subsequently elaborated upon through the 1997 Dagobah Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, thus proving Sinton's in-universe existence. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Sinton system, and therefore the planet Sinton, in grid square I-7.
