The Kallakea system was located in the Authala sector,[1] a part of the Slice portion of[2] the Expansion Region.[1] It was the origin point of the phenomenon known as Kallakean rainbows.[3][4]
Behind the scenes[]
The Kallakea system was first introduced in "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder Where We Are," a 1990 roleplaying game source article published in the thirteenth issue of the Voyages SF magazine. The article placed it in the Heterkus sector and[5] erroneously[6] claimed that it was referenced in[5] the 1988[6] roleplaying adventure Strike Force: Shantipole, published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Since the article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process, its canonicity within the Star Wars Legends continuity was never confirmed.[5] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, authored by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, subsequently placed the Kallakea system in grid square P-12,[2] and the StarWars.com Online Companion to the book overrode the Voyages SF 13 placement by placing the system in the Authala sector instead.[1]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on December 11, 2007 at 7:59 AM; accessed February 2, 2024): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Kallakean rainbows in relation to the Kallakea system.
