The Shipwrights' Trace was a hyperspace route that stretched from Foless to Allanteen VI, passing by the planet Quarzite. Originating at Foless, which is found in the Colonies region on the Corellian Trade Spine super-hyperroute, the pathway led to Atzerri in the Inner Rim Territories, and then to Chardaan, a celestial body within the Chardaan system on the Hydian Way super-hyperroute. From there, the route proceeded into the Expansion Region toward the planet Tynna, ultimately reaching Allanteen VI, a location on the Corellian Run super-hyperroute. Whiforla II was a planet situated on the Shipwrights' Trace.
During the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, the Shipwrights' Trace served as an area of operation for the Deep Current, a resistance group focused on intelligence gathering and based near Tynna. During the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, Mon Mothma, the Alliance Chancellor, tasked Luke Skywalker with the mission to acquire Imperial communication logs intercepted by rebel cells that were active along the Shipwrights' Trace.
