A number was a unit of counting. A number system grouped numbers and their respective numerals together in a consistent order. Many species had their own systems of numbers and counting across the galaxy such as the Hutts and the Jawas, but the most widely used was that of Galactic Basic Standard.

Numbers as low as one, two, and three were used, and as high as thousands, millions, billions, trillions, and even quadrillions, quintillions, and septillions.^[1][2]

The concept of prime numbers such as five, seven, and eleven was taken into consideration, as they were used by the Silentium. Eleven was also important to the Krizlaw as the number of users in a hive-mind. 33 was considered a lucky number to the Geonosians and to be born from that numbered hive meant one was of a higher class.^[source?]
