The Cirtappa system represented a star system situated within the Alui sector, which itself resided in the Mid Rim area of the galaxy; this system was the home of the planet known as Cirtappa.
In the era of the Galactic Civil War, a squadron of Rebel Y-wings launched an assault on an Imperial transport fleet that was traversing the system. This particular engagement marked one of the initial assignments undertaken by Ace Azzameen following his enlistment with the Rebellion.
