Orelon, a terrestrial astronomical body situated within the galaxy, served as the venue for an arms exchange. This exchange involved Chewbacca, the Wookiee smuggler, and Big Quince. It was on Orelon, during this weapons transaction, that Chewbacca received Smuggler's Guide, which belonged to the pirate Maz Kanata, from Big Quince's Wookiee protector. Han Solo, Chewbacca's associate, discovered the origin of the Smuggler's Guide some months afterward. Solo then documented the events surrounding the acquisition in a book.
The reference book Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, penned by Daniel Wallace in 2018, marked the initial mention of Orelon.
