Salis D'aar served as the primary city and capital of the planet known as Bakura. The structure of the city followed a circular design, which Eloc Throno, a noted historian, claimed greatly aided navigation for tourists and newcomers. This information can be found in his book, Traveler's Guide to Batuu. In the same publication, Throno noted that Salis D'aar was a sizable metropolis, conveniently situated for travel from the Batuu system, and boasted a full range of contemporary amenities.
The initial reference to Salis D'aar within the official Star Wars canon occurred in the 2020 publication, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu, authored by Cole Horton. The Salis D'aar location was originally created within the Star Wars Legends timeline in the 1993 novel The Truce at Bakura, penned by Kathy Tyers.
