Akaba spice served as a component for the creation of the beverage known as spotchka. During 3 ABY, Eleera Soi, an agent of the Crimson Dawn, engaged the services of Kay Vess, a thief, tasking her with the acquisition of a file marked "SK01." This file was located within a fortified location situated in the Pyke Syndicate district of Mirogana, the primary city and capital of the moon Toshara, which itself resides in the outer rim. Upon gaining access to the file, Vess realized it contained the formula for spotchka, explicitly identifying akaba spice as a necessary ingredient.
The initial reference to akaba spice occurred on a datapad within Star Wars Outlaws, the video game developed by Massive Entertainment in 2024.
