The Vectinia system existed inside the Hewett sector, which itself was part of the New Territories region of the Mid Rim. This system was connected through hyperlanes to both the Hewett system and the Tartaglia system, which resided in the Hollan sector.
Within the Vectinia system lived the species referred to as Vectinian spiders. The New Republic claimed it as part of their territory around 12 ABY.
The initial reference to the Vectinia system occurred in The Essential Atlas, a reference book from 2009 authored by Daniel Wallace together with Jason Fry. This book situated the system in grid square M-7.
