Abanol, according to legends, existed as the second planet revolving around the star known as Beshqek. This star was part of the Beshqek system, situated in the Deep Core area of the galaxy. This celestial body was a poisonous, rocky sphere accompanied by one moon, and it was located near the legendary world of Byss.
The first appearance of Abanol occurred in Byss and the Deep Core, a resource published by Wizards of the Coast for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game and released in 2005. The reference work The Essential Atlas, which came out in 2009, identified the planet's location as grid square K-11.
