Belsavis was an astronomical object located in the Senex-Juvex[1] and the Western Reaches[2] portion of the Mid Rim, in grid square L-18 on the Standard Galactic Grid. Belsavis was connected via hyperspace route to Karfeddion,[1] and was located near the Thull's Shroud, a location where the marauder group of the Nihil operated during the High Republic Era.[4]

Around 5 BBY,[5] the Galactic Empire sent a group of prisoners from Niamos to Belsavis to carry out their sentences.[3]
