The Kashyyyk system, in the Mytaranor sector of the Mid Rim, contained the inhabited worlds of Kashyyyk, home of the Wookiees, and Trandosha, home of the Trandoshans. It also contained the Wookiee colony moon of Alaris Prime, orbiting the gas giant Alaris. The system was relatively isolated as it was far from the central trade routes, although it was located close to a major route for the southwestern quadrant, and was home to an important Republic navigation and communication relay station.
The Wookiees and Trandoshans of the system were locked in a bitter rivalry for centuries. During the waning days of the Republic, this became a pressure point when debate arose over which planet's representative would be chosen as the system's Senator in the Galactic Senate.
