Bardelbaran, alternatively referred to as Bardelberan 7, was a planet situated within the Mid Rim. Its location on the Standard Galactic Grid was designated as grid square J-6. During the Imperial Era, Bardelberan 7 housed an Imperial Garrison, and the pirate Hondo Ohnaka was at one point involved in an event there.
The light freighter Millennium Falcon was hailed by an Imperial TIE/sh shuttle in 10 BBY after its departure from the planet Galagolos V. The shuttle advised the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca that they were sheltering an individual wanted in connection with the Bardelberan 7 incident. Solo initially suspected Mahjo Reeloo, but she stated she had never been to Bardelberan 7. Solo later realized that Ohnaka was in fact the wanted person. Ultimately, the location of Bardelberan 7 appeared on a map featured in the book Traveler's Guide to Batuu, authored by the historian Eloc Throno and released in 34 ABY.
The junior novel Pirate's Price, authored by Lou Anders and released in 2019, marked the initial mention of Bardelberan 7.
