Venaari was a world situated in the Mid Rim region and held the position of the third planet within the Vellakiya system. It served as the central base of operations for Venaari Enterprises. After the Battle of Endor, the Galactic Empire significantly expanded its presence on the world because of Project Orrad, which was brought to light by Shandria L'hnnar. The elevated Imperial security made establishing a presence on Venaari a challenge for the New Republic.
A single local day on Venaari was equivalent to 28 standard hours, while a local year consisted of 300 local days.
