Qiraash (location)
Qiraash served as the birthplace of Doffen Gaitag, the Wheel space station's architect, who was a Qiraash native.
Behind the scenes
The inaugural mention of Qiraash occurred in Viva Space Vegas! The History of the Marvelous Wheel, an article penned by Abel G. Peña and Rich Handley. This piece was featured on the StarWars.com blog back in 2013. The article leaves ambiguous any potential relationship between the place known as Qiraash and the similarly named species. Furthermore, it provides no details regarding the nature of the location that Qiraash represents.
