Council, situated within the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories, was a planetary body. This world, characterized by its rugged mountainous terrain, served as the central hub for the Noble Court. The Noble Court was the initial kingdom of the Nothoiin species, a group that formerly held sway over the entire sector. Following the Galactic Empire's endeavor to eradicate the Anoat nobility, the landscape of Council became scattered with the remnants of old Nothoiin noble properties.
Due to Imperial Governor Ubrik Adelhard's establishment of the Iron Blockade, Council was among the numerous planets isolated from galactic communication. A sector-wide message, broadcast by Rebel Alliance agent Tam Bastion alongside a young smuggler, disclosed the death of Emperor Palpatine, sparking widespread unrest on worlds like Council and Delphon.
