The Skone system existed within the Brak sector of the Expansion Region. Notably, it included the planet Skone II, a world known for its ability to produce foodstuff and support some level of manufacturing.
During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire chose the system as the location of a staging area for the Imperial Navy. Strict security measures were implemented: a valid permit was necessary to travel to the Skone system, and unauthorized travel was met with severe punishments. Picket ships along with sensor stations were deployed to monitor the system's borders.
Regardless of the Imperial Navy's security efforts, the Alliance to Restore the Republic's Brak Sector Force successfully managed to create a listening post on Skone II.
