The Iskin system existed in the Iskin sector. This sector was itself situated inside the Trailing Sectors region of the Mid Rim. This particular star system had the same designation as the freighter known as the Star of Iskin.
The reference book The Essential Atlas, released in 2009, provided the initial mention of the Iskin system. This book, authored by both Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, identified the system's location as grid square O-16.
