The area of space surrounding the system was explored between 1000 BBY and 25 BBY. Shortly after the acquisition of the planet Ukio by the Commerce Guild during the Clone Wars of 22 BBY–19 BBY, the Gannaria system was featured on a galactic map displayed on a viewscreen at a facility run by Passel Argente, the Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance.
The Human smuggler Han Solo visited the Gannaria system on a mission for a member of the Hutt species at some point between 14 BBY and 0 BBY. The population of the system around 25 ABY numbered less than one million.
The Gannaria system was first mentioned in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry, which placed it in grid square H-15. The Clone Wars: Act on Instinct, a webcomic authored by Pablo Hidalgo and released on StarWars.com over the span of the 2009–2010 second season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, featured the first appearance of the system.
