The Cheruba system existed within the Rifle Worlds, a region within the Hapes Cluster of the Slice sector, which itself was part of the Inner Rim. The Gallinore Reach hyperlane provided a route to both the Charubah and Relephon systems. The system's designation was identical to that of the Cheruban glach races.
Daniel Wallace and [Jason Fry]’s 2009 reference work, The Essential Atlas, first presented the Cheruba system, locating it in grid square O-9.
