Ord Thabl, a world, existed within the Ord Thabl system. This outpost was situated in the Halla sector, which itself was part of the Kashyyyk Region located in the Slice section of the Mid Rim. During the Pius Dea Era, which spanned from around 12,000 BBY to 11,000 BBY, Ord Thabl functioned as an Ordnance/Regional Depot for the Galactic Republic. In 11,939 BBY, when the Republic initiated the Third Pius Dea Crusade targeting the Hutt species, Republic forces advanced from Ord Thabl towards Hutt Space, including the nearby Cyborrea system.
Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart introduced Ord Thabl in their 2012 reference book, The Essential Guide to Warfare. The StarWars.com Online Companion for the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas positioned the Ord Thabl system, and therefore Ord Thabl itself, within grid square R-9.
