Kanaver, a planet in the Tion Hegemony situated on the Outer Rim of the galaxy, was among the worlds previously governed by the Livien League. However, Xim the Despot seized control of it in 25,130 BBY. Subsequently, Kanaver became part of the Galactic Republic and later, the Galactic Empire.
During the time of the Post-Imperial Period, Kanaver had risen again in importance, becoming a significant hub for commerce in proximity to the Perlemian Trade Route, the Back Spiral planets, and the Overic Griplink.
