Kliap sector
The Kliap sector was located in the Colonies,[1] bordering the Barma sector.[2] It contained the Vasuuli system,[1] which was the site of[3] the Vasuuli relay station, a communications center operated by the Rebel Alliance.[2]
The Rebel comm center located on Barma sector's asteroid AX-456 linked up with similar comm centers in the adjacent Kliap and Haldeen sectors. When AX-456 was assaulted by the military forces of the Galactic Empire[2] in 1 BBY,[4] the Rebellion scrambled a strike team from the Vasuuli relay station and dispatched it to the asteroid.[2]
At some point by 2 ABY,[5] the pair of Ithorian pirates known as the Venithon Twins worked for the Kliap Pirates, a notorious pirate gang known for carrying out flashy raids in the Kliap sector.[6]
Behind the scenes
The Kliap sector was first mentioned in Alliance Intelligence Reports, a 1995 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[6]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on December 11, 2007, 7:59am; accessed March 6, 2016): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for the Vasuuli relay station in relation to the Vasuuli system.
