The Vandron system existed within the D'Aelgoth sector of the Mid Rim. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, it was administered by a government aligned with the Galactic Empire. Following the Battle of Endor, Riggins Delahrg, the former Imperial governor of the planet Tallaso, found work at the Imperial Administration building located in the Vandron system. However, when the Vandronian government fell apart just a few months later, Delarhg was forced to escape.
The D'Aelgoth sector, where the Vandron system resided, was itself situated in the Western Reaches area of the Mid Rim.
The system of Vandron was named in honor of Thull Vandron, a wealthy businessman hailing from the Core Worlds planet of Axum. Vandron was instrumental in initiating the settlement of the Senex-Juvex region of the Mid Rim around 1000 BBY. It also shares a name with House Vandron, one of the aristocratic Ancient Houses that eventually governed Senex-Juvex.
After the Galactic Empire's fragmentation following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Vandron system became the nearest system to the planet Tallaso, within the D'Aelgoth sector, that still maintained a functional Imperial bureaucracy. Riggins Delahrg, the deposed Imperial governor from Tallaso, sought employment in the Vandron system. He entered the system's Imperial Administration building and successfully bluffed his way into a lucrative position. However, in less than six months, the Vandronian government collapsed, leaving Delarhg unemployed once more, and he fled the system.
During the Galactic Civil War, a local government, aligned with the Galactic Empire, exerted control over the Vandron system.
The Vandron system's initial mention occurred in the 1995 Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game supplement Heroes & Rogues, published by West End Games. Paul Sudlow and Rick Stuart authored the supplement. The reference book The Essential Atlas, released in 2009, pinpointed its location to grid square L-17.
