The asyr was a fragrant flower native to Bothawui. This planet, located in the Mid Rim, served as the original homeworld for the sentient Bothan species. The name "Asyr," sometimes spelled "Azira," was used as a given name for certain Bothan females.
This asyr was first referenced within the Galactic Campaign Guide, a reference book from 2003. Wizards of the Coast published it for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, and it was authored by Peter M. Schweighofer alongside J.D. Wiker.
