Cygnus B system

The Cygnus B system, also referred to as the Cygnus system, was located in the Esaga sector, a part of the Slice portion of the Mid Rim. The system shared its name with the starship manufacturer Cygnus Spaceworks. That company was based in the Cygnus Star Empire, a small collection of worlds situated along the Mid Rim's Oktos Route hyperlane that were believed by the xenolinguist Doctor Milanda Vorgan to have been ceded as a bribe by the Hutt Clan-General Kossak Inijic Ar'durv to the allies of the Hutt Empire's enemy Xim the Despot during the conflict between Xim and the Hutts twenty-five millennia before the Battle of Yavin.
The Cygnus B system was home to giant algae-beds—immobile, sentient life-forms that were classified as a super-brain. By 0 BBY,The events of "Cantina Communications" take place during Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi's visit to Mos Eisley, which is depicted in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and dated to 0 BBY by The New Essential Chronology. Luke Skywalker, a young man from the Outer Rim Territories planet Tatooine, had seen pictures of the giant algae-beds from the Cygnus B system.
==Behind the scenes==
The Cygnus B system was created by John Chesterman for "Cantina Communications," a one-page vignette included in the sixteenth issue of the Star Wars Official Poster Monthly magazine, published in 1979 by Paradise Press. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas provided a shortened designation for the system and placed it in grid square R-11.
