Cuirilla, a planet, was situated within the Cuirilla system, which itself resided in the Mbandamonte sector of the Trailing Sectors, a region located within the Expansion Region. The VR-10 Cuirilla-Rayl Xylines-class spacetug, a tug design, shared its designation with this planet. Lavek Talstin, a Devaronian captain commanding the Rebel Alliance Action VI transport Wanderer, a freighter, based his operations out of Cuirilla during the Galactic Civil War, specifically after the Battle of Yavin. This detail was later documented by Alliance General Airen Cracken in a datafile dedicated to Rebel operatives, with an entry focusing on Talstin.
Chuck Truett originated Cuirilla, which was first presented in Cracken's Rebel Operatives. This sourcebook, intended for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, was released in 1994 by West End Games. The 2009 book The Essential Atlas specified the location of the Cuirilla system, and consequently the planet, at grid coordinates N-15.
