"He [Stalnus] frequents planets in the Tendo system, where he is known to have a network of contacts who tip him about the arrival of law enforcement or bounty hunters."
―Airen Cracken, Wanted by Cracken[3]

The Tendo system was a star system[3] located within the Quess sector of the Mid Rim[1] and the Trailing Sectors.[2] It contained several planets that were frequented by the Riorian murderer Stalnus. The criminal was known to have a network of contacts in the system who informed the Riorian whenever law enforcement agents or bounty hunters arrived to try and arrest him.[3] In 7 ABY,[4] the Tendo system was mentioned by the New Republic General Airen Cracken within the datafile Wanted by Cracken in an entry dedicated to Stalnus.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Tendo system was first mentioned in the 1993 Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game supplement Wanted by Cracken, which was written by Louis J. Prosperi for West End Games.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the system in grid square N-17.[2]
