B'Knos was a colony dedicated to mining asteroids, situated in the Abran system's Abran asteroid belt. Due to the presence of this colony, the system was occasionally referred to as the B'Knos system.
The colony was attacked in 0 ABY by the Ssi-ruuk's invading forces. It is believed that the colonists were either killed or subjected to entechment. Later, on day 16 of month 8 of year 35, the Imperial authorities issued a statement as part of a cover-up, claiming that the supply ship Ambitious had collided with the colony because of unusual solar flares.
