The Upestis system was a binary star system located within Savareen sector, in the Outer Rim Territories of the Galactic Republic. The system possessed two terrestrial worlds and two gas giants, as well as an asteroid belt that bisected the four orbits, however these bodies were largely unremarkable. As of the Jedi Civil War, it was uninhabited and largely unexplored, despite being within close relative proximity to the Corellian Run. However, it was the scene of a small-scale engagement between a small Republic Navy patrol and the Sith warship Wrangler.
