The Dustig system was situated within the Dustig sector, which itself formed a region of the Trailing Sectors found in the Mid Rim. This system's designation was also applied to the hyperlane called the Dustig Trace, and to the Galactic Republic's Dustig Pocket settlement in the area formerly referred to as Wild Space.
Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry first presented the Dustig system in their 2009 publication, The Essential Atlas, specifically locating it within grid coordinate N-16.
