Neary, a planet, resided within the Neary system, which itself was situated in the Calaron sector. This region was found within the Slice area of the Outer Rim Territories. The Rebel Alliance's Task Force on Alliance Security created a SecuriDex datafile circa 2 ABY concerning the former scout Yurdak Fav; this document cited Neary as Fav's most recent location known to them.
Alliance Intelligence Reports, a resource published in 1995 by West End Games for their Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, included a reference to Neary. The StarWars.com Online Companion for the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas specified that the Neary system, consequently including Neary, was positioned within grid square T-9.
