Kuan, a world situated within the Outer Rim Territories, can be classified as a planet. In 20 BBY, it engaged in conflict with the nearby world of Bordal, necessitating the intervention of the Galactic Empire. The Empire responded by dispatching an Imperial Navy fleet commanded by Admiral Mordon. Notably, Kuan was the home planet of Maarek Stele, a skilled TIE pilot. During the entirety of the Galactic Civil War, the planet remained under the dominion of the Empire.
