Herstell V, a planet located within the Herstell system of the Colonies, was a significant celestial body. It served as the base of operations for the "Red & Black League," a crime syndicate prominent throughout the Galactic Civil War. The group's moniker was inspired by the colors associated with the Herstellic currency of the system.
The sourcebook Heroes & Rogues, released in 1995, first mentioned Herstell V. Rick Stuart and Paul Sudlow penned the sourcebook, which West End Games published for their Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The 2009 book The Essential Atlas identified the Herstell system, and consequently Herstell V, as residing within grid coordinate N-12.
