Otor's Hub first appeared in the 2015 canon novel Dark Disciple, written by Christie Golden. The novel was based on an eight-part story arc of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series that was never finished due to the series' cancellation. Otor's Hub originated in The Clone Wars: The Sith Hunters, a 2012 graphic novel that was part of the non-canon Star Wars Legends continuity, which depicted Otor's Hub as a black market space station. However, in Dark Disciple, the location's exact nature was not specified.
