Spuma, a planet of moderate size, existed within the Seswenna sector of the Outer Rim, and is classified as a planet. Its surface was characterized by a variety of terrains, including jungles, mountains, and prairies.
Prior to the Battle of Yavin, the 1st Tapani Assault Battlegroup secured what the Galactic Empire considered a win during the Rout of Spuma. This event was subsequently memorialized by High General Cassio Tagge in his publication, Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide.
Almost eight years following the Battle of Endor, Spuma became the location where the New Republic Intelligence Service initially detected a surge in trooper recruitment for the fleet commanded by Imperial warlord Grand Admiral Harrsk.
In the video game Star Wars: Rebellion, a factual error places Spuma within the Kanchen sector, even though that sector is actually situated in the Core Worlds.
