Gmar Askilon, situated within the Inner Rim's Krenhner sector, was considered a prominent star.
In 16 ABY, the New Republic Intelligence spotted the escaped alien vessel, the Teljkon Vagabond, in the vicinity of this star. It was close to Gmar Askilon that Colonel Ejagga Pakkpekatt and his assigned group made contact with the Teljkon Vagabond, leading to Lando Calrissian and his associates successfully gaining access to the ship. Once the team was aboard, the Vagabond immediately jumped into hyperspace, leaving Pakkpekatt's entire fleet in its wake.
