The pirate territories constituted a section of realspace dominated by the pirate organization called the Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya. Approximately four months following the Battle of Jakku which occurred in 5 ABY, Nath Tensent, a former New Republic pilot, stayed for about a week at a station bordering the pirate territories. Wyl Lark, an old acquaintance of Tensent, found out about this visit and subsequently located him on the planet Freerock.
The novel Victory's Price, released in 2021, included a reference to the pirate territories; this novel was the third in the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy and was authored by Alexander Freed.
