The Sundered Veil, situated within space, formed a component of the Phelleem sector, which itself was located in the Slice region of the Outer Rim Territories. Following its restoration around 15,000 BBY, the Galactic Republic's navy aggressively expanded beyond the Republic's edge to safeguard its colonies and trade. Despite the scarcity of surviving records from that time, naval songs for millennia recalled acts of valor by Republic Navy personnel during battles at Esaga, Caulbon, and the Sundered Veil. During the Pius Dea Era, spanning from roughly 12,000 BBY to 11,000 BBY, the Sundered Veil marked a boundary of the Republic.
The reference work The Essential Guide to Warfare, released in 2012 and written by Jason Fry in collaboration with Paul R. Urquhart, provided the initial mention of the Sundered Veil. The Online Companion on StarWars.com for the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas specified its location as grid square S-7.
