New Canistel, a relatively unimportant terrestrial planet, existed within the New Canistel system of the Demetras sector. This system was situated in the Trans-Hydian region of the Outer Rim Territories. It served as the original homeworld for the senoti tree, a plant species that produced medicinal sap. The senoti could also be located on the Forest Moon of Endor.
Xenoarborists commonly theorize that the senoti arrived on Endor due to the crash of one or both of the Canistel AgriStar freighters that went missing in the Moddell sector, suggesting they carried seeds from the tree. The environment on Endor was not ideally suited for the senoti; the alkaline soil of New Canistel allowed the trees to thrive much more effectively. By 3 ABY, only a small number of senoti trees remained on Endor.
The initial mention of New Canistel occurred within the "Endor and the Moddell Sector" article, featured in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine, released on February 22, 2002. The reference book The Essential Atlas, published in 2009, positioned the New Canistel system, and consequently the planet itself, within grid square P-7.
