Airam sector
The Airam sector was a sector located within the Outer Rim near the Elrood sector. The sector contained the vast Blair Cluster.
History
The sector was home to the fiercely independent Airam, ruled by the Airam Clans. It was a fair haven for criminals, pirates, smugglers and those who did not want to be found by the Galactic Empire, such as the Rebel fleet.[10] The Airam Clans later joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic as the Airam Sector Force.[11]
Around 3 ABY, elements of the Rebel Navy moved into the Airam sector in an attempt to gain a foothold there, and hide from the pursuing Imperial fleet. During this campaign, they were forced to fight Task Force Vengeance, which had been sent by the Empire to pacify the Airam sector.[10]
Following the Battle of Endor, the Airam sector was among the first sectors to throw off the Empire.[7]
Behind the scenes
One particular battle is described to take place "near Elbra," but it remains unclear whether that is a planet or a system.
