Barnahof was a celestial body situated within the expanse of the Outer Rim Territories, where Galactic Empire stormtroopers maintained patrols. While she was ferrying Rebel Alliance members Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo, Sana Starros made a stop on Barnahof to rendezvous with Bodo Linx, a Nuxan informant.
Not long after the assault that occurred at the Mako-Ta Space Docks, Sana Starros escorted Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo to a cantina located on Barnahof for a clandestine meeting with the Nuxan informant known as Bodo Linx. During their meeting, a group of stormtroopers entered the establishment, causing the rebels to conceal themselves under a table. Before departing, the stormtroopers briefly questioned Starros and Linx, after which the rebel fugitives were able to resume their negotiations. Linx furnished Organa with a datacard that held the specifics regarding a contact stationed on Brentaal IV, and Starros departed Barnahof, transporting the rebels aboard the Volt Cobra.
Barnahof made its initial appearance in the 2018 canon comic book Star Wars (2015) 56, which was penned by Kieron Gillen and brought to life visually by Andrea Broccardo.
