Lorahns existed as a celestial body. Its location was within both the Mid Rim Territories and the Slice. Furthermore, it could be found at position P-14 of the Standard Galactic Grid. The name Lorahns was also used by inhabitants of the planet Vandor to describe their local gravitational sink, which they called Lorahns Cavity.
The initial depiction of Lorahns in the new Star Wars canon occurred on a galactic map. This map was featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game, a boxed set released in 2016 for Star Wars Roleplaying, a product line by Fantasy Flight Games. Conversely, within Star Wars Legends, the planet Lorahns was initially referenced in "A Barve Like That: The Tale of Boba Fett," a short story from 1995 written by Daniel Keys Moran that appeared in the anthology Tales from Jabba's Palace. Its initial visual representation was in a flashback within The Bounty Hunters: Aurra Sing, the debut issue of the Star Wars: The Bounty Hunters comic-book series, created by Timothy Truman and released by Dark Horse Comics on August 11, 1999.
