Glauheim, a gas giant, had three moons in orbit around it. Situated in the Marcellus Nebula, it was the second planet from the star in the Marcellus system. Marcellus, a yellow sun, was circled by Glauheim. This gas giant, together with its entire star system, could be found in the Meerian sector within the New Territories region of the larger Outer Rim Territories.
The initial reference to Glauheim appeared in Planet of the Mists, a 1992 adventure supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Nigel D. Findley wrote it, and West End Games published it. The 2009 book The Essential Atlas specified that the Marcellus system, including Glauheim, was located in grid square N-6.
