The Vaykaaris system existed within the Southern Core region of the Colonies. Around 41 BBY, a terrorist group operating from this system menaced over one hundred worlds throughout the Colonies, an event that came to be called the Vaykaaris Uprising. In order to settle this conflict, a dozen Jedi Order members were sent on the corvette named Freedom's Messenger.
The 2009 sourcebook The Essential Atlas, authored by Daniel Wallace along with Jason Fry, first presented the Vaykaaris system and located it in grid K-13.
