Gad, located at coordinates M-17 on the Standard Galactic Grid, was a celestial body found in the Outer Rim Territories. This astronomical object possessed hyperspace route connections; one led to Eriadu, a planet at the intersection of the Rimma Trade Route and the Hydian Way super-hyperroutes, while the other connected to a junction between Eiattu and the planet Karfeddion. Following the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War, ore traders established a presence on Gad during those years.
