The Cam'co system, home to Colonial Station, existed within the heartland of the Chiss Ascendancy, which is the governing body of the Chiss species and presides over the Chiss Space sector of the Unknown Regions. The star system was linked via the Chasdemonus Route hyperlane both to the Naporar system and to areas situated northwest of the Ascendancy's central domain. The Chiss colonized the Colonial Station Cam'co system, and it was one of a pair of star systems that were named in honor of Jer'Jo Cam'Co, a founding syndic (or leader) of the Expansionary Defense Fleet of the Chiss Ascendancy.
The initial mention of the two Chiss Space star systems bearing Jer'Jo Cam'co's name occurred in Refugee. This novel represents the second installment of the Star Wars: The New Jedi Order's Force Heretic trilogy. Sean Williams and Shane Dix penned the novel, which was released in 2003. Later, in 2009, the reference source The Essential Atlas by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry pinpointed one of these systems as the Colonial Station Cam'co system and assigned it to grid square F-8.
