Baffop


Baffop, a planet found in the Outer Rim Territories, was part of the Baffop system, which existed within the Tamarin sector. It was on Baffop that the Human male named Anselm was born in 32 BBY. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Galactic Empire forces inflicted heavy casualties upon the civilian population of Baffop, leaving the planet devastated. Witnessing this destruction of his homeworld motivated Anselm to join the Rebel Alliance, an organization that opposed the Empire. By 9 ABY, during Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign against the New Republic, Baffop's space was either under the control of, or allied with, Thrawn's confederation.

Behind the scenes

The 1992 Dark Force Rising Sourcebook, a supplement for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Bill Slavicsek, was the first place Baffop was referenced. In 2009, The Essential Atlas, a reference book, placed the Baffop system, and therefore Baffop, in grid square O-19.
