Minfar, situated in the Inner Rim Territories at grid coordinate I-13 of the Standard Galactic Grid, was a remote, jungle-covered planet located far away in space. After a distress call was broadcast from the world, indicating that a First Order battalion was present, Resistance operatives including Rey, Poe Dameron, BB-8, and Rose Tico answered the call. Branwayne Spiftz, a member of the First Order, considered Minfar to be unremarkable and lacking strategic value; thus, he was taken aback when he encountered the Resistance while searching for the Echo Horn there.
