Belassar system

The Belassar system was a star system located in the Sarla sector of the Expansion Region. Early during the Galactic Civil War,The Essential Atlas dates the Rebel Alliance mission in the Belassar system between 2 BBY–0 BBY, the first two years of the Galactic Civil War. prior to the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Empire moved to suppress Rebel Alliance activity in the system. In response, Princess Leia Organa and the Alderaanian consular ship Tantive IV,The Essential Atlas accompanied by pilot Jon "Dutch" Vander, arrived to clandestinely support the Rebels. From at least 12 ABY to 17 ABY, the Bellasar system fell within the borders of New Republic–controlled space.
