Lankashiir, situated in the Colonies region of the galaxy, was a planet belonging to the Lankashiir system. In the Imperial Era, the Galactic Empire exercised control over Lankashiir. This planet, abundant with forests, served as the native world of Adion Lang, a lieutenant in the Imperial Security Bureau, as well as the Durasha family, a Human family deeply connected to the Empire.

Charlene Newcomb authored this story, which was released on November 1, 1995. The reference work The Essential Atlas, published in 2009, pinpointed the planet's location at grid square N-11.
