The Sumitra system existed within the galaxy's Expansion Region, and was classified as a star system. The star system known as LCC-4-4-7 sat at an equal distance between the Sumitra system and the Cvetaen system, which was also an Expansion Region star system. While the Imperial Corvette Carrion Spike, which had been stolen, was in LCC-4-4-7, a communications officer who was non-commissioned advised Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of this fact.
