U'Dray

U'Dray was a planet situated in the U'Dray system of the Outer Rim Territories' Hook Nebula. As part of the Galactic Civil War's Hook Nebula campaign waged at some point by the time shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Qeimet fleet of the Galactic Empire carried out an assault at U'Dray. The Rebel Alliance initially achieved a rare victory over the fleet's Scimitar assault wing, although the Empire nevertheless ultimately prevailed in the engagement.
The assault wing's commanding officer, Captain Tomax Bren, mentioned the ongoing assault of U'Dray in a datamemo sent to the wing's squadron commanders. The message was subsequently included in a compilation of Imperial documents made by Rebel historian Major Arhul Hextrophon for Alliance Supreme Commander Mon Mothma and other Rebel officers.
==Behind the scenes==
U'Dray's name was introduced via a mention of the assault of U'dray in Greg Gorden's 1989 Imperial Sourcebook that was published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.Imperial Sourcebook "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in the thirteenth issue of the Voyages SF magazine, described U'Dray—the name of which it misspelled as "V'Dray" on one occasion—as a celestial body and placed it in the Byss sector.
Since that article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process, its canonicity within the Star Wars Legends continuity was never confirmed. 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia subsequently provided the first unambiguously canonical description of U'Dray as a planet in Star Wars Legends. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas then placed U'Dray in grid square O-18, and the StarWars.com Online Companion to the book later overrode the Voyages SF 13 placement by establishing that the planet was situated in the Hook Nebula instead.
