Dahvil was an Outer Rim Territories celestial body located in the Rayter sector. It was the homeworld of Jake Sirrom, a Human Wing Guard of the planet Bespin. During the Galactic Civil War, Dahvil served as the starting point of the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade, a popular interstellar racing route. The racer and undercover Rebel Alliance operative Siro Simito once participated in the race, and at the event's staging area on Dahvil, he picked up from his fellow Rebel agent Kaini a data module for secret delivery to the celestial body Fait d'Fait.
Dahvil was a terrestrial celestial body located in the Dahvil system, a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Rayter sector.
Jake Sirrom, the son of the Galactic Republic senator Gem Sirrom, hailed from Dahvil. After the Imperial successor to the Republic's Senate was dissolved in 0 BBY, Gem took Jake to the Outer Rim planet Bespin in order to start a new life. There, the latter eventually became a member of the Bespin Wing Guard security force.
The racing pilot Siro Simito picked up a data module on Dahvil for a secret Rebel Alliance delivery offworld.
During the Galactic Civil War, Dahvil served as the starting point of the popular annual Star Rally interstellar racing route known as the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade. At one point, not long after the Star Rally races were decriminalized on Dahvil, the racer and undercover Rebel Alliance operative Siro Simito was tasked by the Alliance to deliver a data module from the celestial body to a contact on the Mid Rim astronomical object Fait d'Fait while participating in the race.
Similarly to other such missions, the Alliance arranged for the agent Kaini to hand the data module to Simito. On Dahvil, the former agent posed as a holovid reporter from the Mid Rim world Ord Dorlass. As part of the Rebels' pre-arranged act, while Simito was walking through the amassed crowd at the race's staging area, Kaini and her cam droid, which had the data module hidden in the casing of its supertelephoto lens, approached the racer. The supposed reporter pretended to interview Simito about his feud with the fellow racer Seeg. Simito—acting like he was lashing out in annoyance at the repeated mentioning of his rival—used his vibro-ax to slice off the cam droid's lens, and the racer picked it up after Kaini and the droid had fled the scene.
Subsequently Simito and the other pilots departed from Dahvil and traveled toward the first stopping point of the race, Ord Dorlass. At some point by the time that shortly followed the Battle of Yavin, Rebel Alliance General Airen Cracken included Simito's report, which mentioned the racer's visit to Dahvil, in a datafile detailing various Rebel operatives.
Dahvil was the homeworld of the Bespin Wing Guard Jake Sirrom.
Dahvil was the homeworld of the Human Jake Sirrom. Although the Star Rally races were illegal on Dahvil during the Galactic Civil War, spectators nevertheless attended the start of one such race there. At the next race following their decriminalization, however, the crowd was twice as large. Despite relying on holovids for keeping themselves informed about the racing events, the spectators on Dahvil had a dislike for the holovid reporters and, at one point, cheered the pilot Siro Simito after he had what appeared to be an aggressive outburst at a reporter. Simito nevertheless had a relatively small number of fans on the celestial body.
Dahvil was created by Chuck Truett and was introduced in Cracken's Rebel Operatives, a 1994 West End Games sourcebook published for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Dahvil system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square J-19.
