The celestial body known as Rintonne existed within the Lambda sector, situated in both the Mid Rim and the Trailing Sectors regions. Its position was identified as square P-16 on the Standard Galactic Grid. During the time of the Separatist Crisis, which spanned from 24 BBY to 22 BBY, half of the aforementioned sector seceded from the Galactic Republic to join the burgeoning Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by Senator Po Nudo. Despite this defection within the Lambda sector, Rintonne, along with the Andoan Free Colonies, chose to remain aligned with the Republic. Years later, specifically in 34 ABY, Rintonne's location was visible on a fragmented map of the galaxy displayed within the Star Cruiser called Halcyon.
Within the current Star Wars canon, Rintonne made its debut through its depiction on a galactic map featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game. This was a boxed set released in 2016 for Fantasy Flight Games' series of Star Wars Roleplaying games. Rintonne's initial in-universe appearance materialized as a map display in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive role-playing experience located at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, which opened to the public on March 1, 2022. In the Star Wars Legends timeline, the planet Rintonne was first introduced in Wanted by Cracken, a 1993 sourcebook for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Louis J. Prosperi and published by West End Games.
