Anchoron existed as a planet located within the Anchoron system, itself a part of the Mayagil sector. The Human inhabitants of this world, known as Anchoroni, were distinguished by their refined manners, elegant etiquette, and courteous behavior.
Around the time of 2 BBY, Garm Bel Iblis, a former Senator, had plans to deliver an address critical of the New Order at the Treitamma Political Center, which was located on Anchoron. Armand Isard, the Director of Imperial Intelligence, plotted to eliminate the problematic senator by setting an explosive trap within the building. Although Bel Iblis arrived as expected, he departed the building before his scheduled speech to secretly meet with Aach, an envoy sent by Bail Organa. Aach relayed information regarding the Death Star information that a defecting Imperial officer was transporting to Darkknell. As they spoke, the Center detonated, resulting in the deaths of Garm's spouse, Arrianya, and their two offspring. This tragic loss pushed him to join the Rebel Alliance. Because Garm was presumed dead by most, he could function secretly as a Rebel operative. After leaving Anchoron, Bel Iblis journeyed to Darkknell for his meeting with the Imperial defector.
