The Carvandir system could be found within the Carvandir sector, which itself was part of the Outer Expansion Zone sub-region. More specifically, it resided in the Northern Dependencies section of the broader Expansion Region. Positioned along the Namadii Corridor hyperlane, this system was situated between the Dorin and Vaced systems. Furthermore, a separate hyperspace route linked the Carvandir system with the Mondress system. By 12 ABY, the Carvandir system was located inside the territory claimed by the New Republic.
The Carvandir system's existence was first documented in The Essential Guide to Warfare, a 2012 reference book penned by Jason Fry together with Paul R. Urquhart. Subsequently, the Online Companion on StarWars.com for The Essential Atlas reference book of 2009 specified the system's location as grid square J-7.
