Lost Murvey, situated within the Wild Space section of the galaxy, served as a hiding place. Queen Maz Kanata, the pirate, concealed some of the loot from her time in power within a subterranean vault. This vault was secured by a antitamper sub-space alarm. When she started to pen the tome that would later be called the Smuggler's Guide, the alarm safeguarding the hidden treasure on Lost Murvey remained silent.
The book Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide marked the initial appearance of Lost Murvey. Daniel Wallace authored this reference book, which was published in 2018.
