Laria

Laria was an Outer Rim Territories celestial body located in the Rseik sector. By 3643 BBY, dozens of star-charts, accompanied by notes in a forgotten language, had been stored in computer banks inside ancient ruins on Laria. Around that year, archaeologists were able to restore the charts. Millennia later, the Trade Federation improved the facilities of Laria's spaceport.
==Description==
Laria was a terrestrial celestial body located in the Laria system, a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Rseik sector.
==History==
Long before 3643 BBY,Per the reasoning here, Act I of Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place around 3643 BBY. Since players of The Old Republic can assign their companions on the mission "Finding Our Way" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY. dozens of star-charts, accompanied by many notes, were stored in a series of computer banks in a structure on Laria. By 3643 BBY, the structure had been degraded to a series of ruins, and the language in which the notes had been written had been forgotten.
The star-charts in the Laria ruins were discovered around that year, with archaeologists attempting to restore the documents. An individual affiliated with the Galactic Republic eventually sent a companion to assist the researchers. The companion carefully restored the charts, which were subsequently turned over to the highly grateful Jedi Council of the Jedi Order.Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia
Within a decade of extending its operations to the Rseik sector following the Bordal Contagion of 214 BBY, the Trade Federation upgraded the facilities of Laria's spaceport. The astronomical object was eventually mentioned in the memoirs of the Trade Defense Force captain Firmus Kett.
==Behind the scenes==
Laria was mentioned in a Slicing Crew Skill mission of Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 video game developed by BioWare. The mission was originally only available to Galactic Republic–aligned player characters, though both that restriction and the information regarding the mission's outcome was later removed from the game. The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Laria system, and therefore the celestial body Laria, in grid square N-19.
Laria was originally meant to be mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart; however, the sidebar that would have mentioned the celestial body was cut before the book's release. The information regarding Laria was later released in 2014 as part of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut, a series of articles published on the StarWars.com Blog by Fry and Del Rey editor Erich Schoeneweiss containing various cut content from The Essential Guide to Warfare.
