The Lutrillian Cross represented a hyperspace route that extended through a portion of the Outer Rim Territories. Found along the path of the Lutrillian Cross were Lotho Minor, a planet in the Wazta sector completely covered by mountains composed of waste, and the Anoat and Yarith sector planets of Mijos and Lutrillia. The hyperspace route also shared a designation with the Lutrillian species, who were native to Lutrillia.
The eighteenth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine, released around May 6, 2015, contained the inaugural mention of the Lutrillian Cross in the new Star Wars canon. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Lutrillian Cross was initially presented within "Galactic Gazetteer: Hoth and the Greater Javin," an article created by Wizards of the Coast for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game and featured on Wizards.com on March 25, 2004.
