Povanaria, a planet, resided within the Povanaria system. Its location was specifically in the Loop Worlds region of the Gordian Reach sector, found in the Trans-Hydian section of the Outer Rim Territories. The Junction-Tierell Loop hyperlane served as a connection point to both the Bronsoon and Durgen's Star systems. This world, characterized by its windy conditions and sparse vegetation of low grasses and moss, was the original homeworld of the Povanarian species, whose members had ventured beyond its atmosphere well before 43 ABY – indeed, several centuries prior.
The planet Povanaria initially appeared in The Essential Atlas, a reference book published in 2009 and written by both Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry. It was designated in grid square P-6 within that atlas.
