The Carreras system, a star system in the Outer Rim territories of the galaxy, sat just past the edge of the Surd Nebula. This system was made up of two planets: Carreras Major, the Shifala's home planet, which was controlled by Biala, and Carreras Minor. On a moon of Carreras Minor, Ania Solo operated her junkyard. To facilitate Empress Marasiah Fel's plan to establish a network of communication arrays across the galaxy, Imperial Knight Yalta Val was sent to the system in 138 ABY to supervise the building of the Carreras G51 communications array.
