Cygnus B system

The Cygnus B system, also referred to as the Cygnus system, was located in the Esaga sector, a part of the Slice portion of the Mid Rim. The system shared its name with the starship manufacturer Cygnus Spaceworks. That company was based in the Cygnus Star Empire, a small collection of worlds situated along the Mid Rim's Oktos Route hyperlane that were believed by the xenolinguist Doctor Milanda Vorgan to have been ceded as a bribe by the Hutt Clan-General Kossak Inijic Ar'durv to the allies of the Hutt Empire's enemy Xim the Despot during the conflict between Xim and the Hutts twenty-five millennia before the Battle of Yavin.

The Cygnus B system was home to giant algae-beds—immobile, sentient life-forms that were classified as a super-brain. By 0 BBY, Luke Skywalker, a young man from the Outer Rim Territories planet Tatooine, had seen pictures of the giant algae-beds from the Cygnus B system.
