Rentean existed as a planet situated within the Jjannex sector, located in the Outer Rim Territories.
Humans resided there and provided assistance to the Alliance to Restore the Republic through the production of starfighters. Following the questioning of an apprehended Bothan spy, the Galactic Empire uncovered this support. Consequently, the Empire deployed a group to infiltrate the clandestine shipbuilding facility, obliterate it, and penalize the planet's population.
