The Alaris Expanse was an area of space in the outer part of the Kashyyyk system,[1] located within the Slice portion of the Mid Rim.[2] It contained the gas giant Alaris[1] and its eight moons,[2] including Alaris Prime.[1] Between 39 BBY and 36 BBY,[3] colonists of the Wookiee species traveled through the Alaris Expanse aboard the transport vessel Thalmussen to reach Alaris Prime and colonize it.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Alaris Expanse was first mentioned in the introductory description of the Attichitcuk campaign in the 2001 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and was also shown in the introduction to the campaign's first level, "Moving and Attacking."[1]
The campaign description labeled the Expanse as a group of planets in the Outer Rim Territories. The game's databank, however, placed Alaris Prime in the Kashyyyk system,[1] which the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed within the Mid Rim.[2]
