The Shipwrights' Trace was a hyperspace route situated between the astronomical objects Foless and Allanteen VI, running near the planet Quarzite. From Foless, located in the Colonies region along Corellian Trade Spine super-hyperroute, the route went into the Inner Rim Territories to the celestial body Atzerri and then the astronomical body Chardaan, located in the Chardaan system along the Hydian Way super-hyperroute. The route then went into the Expansion Region to the planet Tynna and then to Allanteen VI, which lay on the Corellian Run super-hyperroute. The planet Whiforla II was located along the Shipwrights' Trace.
During the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, the Deep Current, an information-gathering resistance group based around Tynna, operated along the Shipwrights' Trace. During the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, Alliance Chancellor Mon Mothma tasked the operative Luke Skywalker with retrieving logs of Imperial communications that were intercepted by rebel cells operating along the Shipwrights' Trace.
