Llanic was a planetary body that resided in the Llanic system, which itself was positioned in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. Its location was at the junction where the Llanic Spice Route met the Triellus Trade Route. A hub of activity for smugglers and various other disreputable individuals, Llanic drew comparisons to Mos Eisley. Because of the illegal credits that were constantly changing hands there, the Galactic Empire maintained surveillance over Llanic.
Luke Skywalker, while traveling to Rodia, participated in a brief battle in the space above Llanic, where he defended a Kupohan vessel against attacks from Imperial forces.
