The Minavar system, a star system situated in the Outer Rim Territories' Bheriz sector, once hosted a colony founded by an expedition. This group included the Human infant Reina Gale and her family. However, by the time 0 ABY arrived, a devastating virus had swept through the colony, resulting in the death of almost everyone, including Gale's parents. The girl was subsequently raised by her uncle.
The roleplaying game article "It's a Gambler's Life," released in 1994, marked the first appearance of the Minavar system. This article was authored by Anthony P. Russo and featured in the fourth issue of the Star Wars Adventure Journal magazine.
In 1998, the Star Wars Encyclopedia included an entry for the system, but mistakenly referred to it as the "Mindavar system." Later, in 2009, The Essential Atlas reference book located the Minavar system in grid square U-10.
