Vento system
- "You will transmit the following orders to the fleet—tell each admiral to deploy his squadron to the Vento system shipyards at the following coordinates—07.882.76.999—"
- ―Ulic Qel-Droma, to the commander of Coruscant's war room
The Vento system was a star system that was located within the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. The system contained the Vento system shipyards.
History
During the final stages of the war, the Human Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma attempted to force a Republic military officer to transmit orders to the Republic fleet instructing all the fleet's starships to arrive at the coordinates of the Vento system shipyards—an action that would cause the destruction of many Republic vessels. Qel-Droma's orders were not executed, however, due to the Sith Lord being arrested by a group of Jedi Knights.
Behind the scenes
The Vento system was first mentioned in the second issue of The Sith War story arc of the Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi series of comic books. The issue was published on September 19, 1995 and was written by Kevin J. Anderson and penciled by Dario Carrasco, Jr. Later, Vento system received an entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia—a reference book published in December 9, 2008.
