The Tinta system existed within the Interior Region, which itself was part of the Hapes Cluster found in the Slice section of the Inner Rim. Its connections to other star systems were made possible by hyperlanes that linked it to both the Rbollea and Tumani systems.
The 2009 reference book, The Essential Atlas, mentioned the Tinta system for the first time. Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry were the authors of this book, and they situated the system in grid coordinate O-9.
