Andris, a type of spice, was extracted from Seylott, Empress Teta, and its satellite, Atale. It served as a food enhancer and a method of preservation. Furthermore, it had applications as a treatment for hibernation sickness. The smuggler Platt Okeefe suggested it as a worthwhile commodity for illicit traders within pirate Maz Kanata's publication, the Smuggler's Guide, simultaneously cautioning against dealing in alternatives like ryll or the spices found on Kessel.
The 2018 canon sourcebook Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, penned by Daniel Wallace, marked the initial mention of Andris. Within the Star Wars Legends storyline, Andris debuted in the 1998 book Young Jedi Knights: Return to Ord Mantell, authored by Kevin J. Anderson alongside Rebecca Moesta.
