Tureen VII existed as a planet situated within the Outer Rim Territories, and it was characterized by its orbit around two moons. After the Death Star's destruction during the Battle of Yavin, the inhabitants of Tureen VII began to offer clandestine support to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Nevertheless, after the Galactic Empire discovered Tureen VII's support for the Alliance, they initiated a blockade surrounding the planet and constructed military installations on the planet's pair of moons.
