The Stenness Node, was a group of three mining systems in the Inner Rim, known collectively as the Stenness worlds, the Stenness systems, or simply the Stenness system. There were twenty-five humanoid races native to the Stenness Node, collectively called "Nessies." The space station known as The Rig was located in an asteroid field in this region. The Node comprised of seven inhabited mining worlds, including, Ithull, Taboon, and Kamsul, as well as an asteroid field, with Ambria at the heart of the Node.
Designated by the as the Stenness Node, there was controversy over the regions correct name, as it was also reported as the Stenness Systems. The naming controversy even reached as far as the Senate.
The Hutt crime lord Bogga was a major power in the Stenness Node in the years before the Great Sith War, often dwelling in the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal when not holding court in his headquarters on the moon of Vo Dasha. For a hefty fee, the Hutt's enslaved henchmen and modified Core Galaxy Systems Dreadnaught Enforcer One would protect the Nessies and their mining operations from raids by pirates such as Finhead Stonebone and his motley crew of cut-throats.
Millennia later, Han Solo and Salla Zend smuggled spice to the system. Crimelord BolBol the Hutt was known to be practically in control of the Node as of 0 BBY.
The node originally appeared spelled as "Stenness Node" however it is occasionally misspelled as "Stennes Node" and "Steness Node" in some later sources.
The Tales of the Jedi Companion claimed that the Onderon system was in the Stenness Node, however, in the actual comic appearances of the planet, it is stated to be on "the other side of the galaxy" from the Node. This error was repeated in the Star Wars Gamer 1 article The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Marvel Series which erroneously grouped the Ambria, Amar and Onderon systems together within the Node. Of the three, the Ambria system is the only confirmed by other sources to specifically reside within the Node.
