Fait d'Fait, a planet in the Mid Rim, resided within the Venaarian sector. Circa 3643 BBY, crime organizations enlisted an outsider to assist them in influencing a governor of Fait d'Fait, who championed policies against organized crime. Later, during the period of the Galactic Civil War, Siro Simito, a racer, made a stop at Fait d'Fait as a deviation from the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade starship race. Simito, acting as a secret agent for the Rebel Alliance, was charged with the mission of transporting a data module from the astronomical object Dahvil to a contact situated on Fait d'Fait—a transfer that Simito successfully executed, even after a brief encounter with a Barabel mugger in Fait d'Fait's city.
Fait d'Fait was a land-based world situated in the Fait d'Fait system, which formed a component of the Venaarian sector within the Trans-Hydian section of the Mid Rim. Its location was within a day's hyperspace journey, using a Class 1 hyperdrive, from Azna, a planet in the Outer Rim Territories, and less than eight days away from Ord Dorlass in the Iskin sector.
Approximately around 3643 BBY, the governor of Fait d'Fait strongly advocated for measures against organized crime. Consequently, several criminal organizations sought an off-worlder capable of persuading the governor to change his stance. An individual tied to one of the factions involved in the ongoing struggle between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire directed an associate to aid the criminals. Ultimately, the associate discovered compromising details about the governor, enabling the grateful syndicates to exert control over the politician indefinitely.
During the Galactic Civil War, specifically between 2 BBY and approximately 0 ABY, Siro Simito, a racer and covert operative for the Rebel Alliance, received instructions from the Alliance to transport a data module from Dahvil, a planet in the Outer Rim Territories, to a contact located on Fait d'Fait while participating in the widely recognized annual Star Rally interstellar racing competition known as the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade. Simito deliberately reduced the hyperdrive efficiency of his starship during the initial segments of the race to avoid raising suspicion later when he made a planned detour to Fait d'Fait from the hyperlane connecting Tintel and Azna.
On the fifteenth day of the race, Simito arrived at Fait d'Fait, securing his ship in a warehouse owned by Gevil Flan. The undercover Rebel agent then switched out of his racer clothes and into a simple coverall, arming himself with a vibro-ax, and proceeded to the hotel designated for the meeting with his contact. Although the contact arrived over an hour late, the transfer of the data module proceeded without further complications.
However, outside the hotel, Simito was confronted by a Barabel mugger who demanded that the racer surrender his axe and credits. Despite his past as a space pirate, Simito chose not to resort to violence. Instead of attacking the Barabel with his weapon, he feigned madness and excessive aggression, shouting at the mugger and threatening a fist fight. The Barabel, despite being armed with a blaster, became unnerved by the spectacle and fled, allowing Simito to return to his starship and continue the race toward Azna.
The delay caused by Simito's contact on Fait d'Fait forced the racer to recalculate his hyperspace jump from the planet, resulting in his arrival at Azna two hours later than anticipated. At some point before the Battle of Yavin, Rebel Alliance General Airen Cracken included Simito's report, which detailed the racer's visit to Fait d'Fait during the Dahvil-Fodro Hyperspace Promenade, in a datafile containing information on various Rebel operatives.
Fait d'Fait featured a city that housed both a warehouse owned by Gevil Flan and an inexpensive hotel.
Chuck Truett created Fait d'Fait, introducing it in Cracken's Rebel Operatives, a 1994 sourcebook by West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Fait d'Fait system, and thus the planet, in grid square O-7. Fait d'Fait received a mention in an Underworld Trading Crew Skill mission in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 BioWare video game, although the mission's outcome was subsequently removed from the game.
