The Kalinda system, named after its discoverer Jak Kalinda, was a star system situated in the Mid Rim of the galaxy. It featured the orange star called Kalinda, around which six planets revolved. A scattered asteroid belt offered protection at the system's outer limits. Kirima was the only planet capable of sustaining life.
Positioned strategically, the Kalinda system lay in the space between the Corporate Sector, the New Republic, and a small area bordering the Imperial territory. Following the Battle of Endor, the Kalindan System Defense Force and Kalindan Deep Space Fleet, along with smugglers covertly employed by the New Republic as part of Project Second Chance, successfully defended the system against an Imperial fleet attempting to seize control.
