Aakaash existed as a star within the star system that shared its designation. This system resided within the Outer Rim Territories' Oplovis sector, as well as the New Territories. Its position was pinpointed at grid square M-5 on the Standard Galactic Grid, and it emitted light in silver hues. System folklore traditionally associated the star's silver radiance with the concept of justice.
The initial appearance of Aakaash was in the Chinese web-novel titled The Vow of Silver Dawn. Its naming originated on a map designed for the reference work Star Wars: Timelines. This map was initially shared in a blog post on StarWars.com on May 27, 2022, preceding the book's official launch during Celebration Europe spanning from April 7 to 10, 2023.
