A star system, also known as a planetary system or simply a system, was a group of bodies orbiting a star.

Star systems usually consisted of one or more planets, and the debris remaining from the formation of the primary planets and central star, such as comets and asteroids.

The galactic standard approach to naming star systems was to base the name off the central star or planet.^[1]

There are seven billion one hundred million stars in the known galaxy, with approximately three billion two hundred million habitable star systems. Only about a billion of these systems have life. Only sixty-nine million of those systems meet population requirements for Imperial representation. All star systems are given coordinates that are used by navicomputers to permit space travel.^[2]
