Lipsec was a celestial body situated within the Outer Rim Territories, specifically found at coordinates I-18 on the Standard Galactic Grid. This location served as a point of connection for the hyperspace route called the Lipsec Run, linking it to the Virgillia system and continuing onward into the Outer Rim.
The initial mention of Lipsec within established Star Wars canon occurred on a galactic map featured in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game, a boxed set for Star Wars Roleplaying by Fantasy Flight Games released in 2016. The Lipsec system initially appeared within the Star Wars Legends continuity, debuting in The Essential Atlas, a reference book from 2009 penned by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry. Subsequently, the system made its debut in The Clone Wars: Act on Instinct, a webcomic created by Pablo Hidalgo and published on StarWars.com during the second season (2009–2010) of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated TV show.
