Varic existed as a land-based planet located within the Varic system. The Varic system was situated in the Chorlian sector of the Outer Rim Territories. The planet's weather was characterized by intense sand storms. These storms impacted the skin complexion of the Trandoshan mercenary Nakaron when he visited the celestial body sometime around the time of the New Republic. General Airen Cracken of the New Republic eventually took note of the effect of the Varic sand storms on Nakaron. Cracken noted it in an entry of the datafile titled Wanted by Cracken, a file dedicated to the Trandoshan, the initial version of which saw publication in 7 ABY.
The "Wanted by Cracken" section of the fourth issue of Star Wars Adventure Journal from West End Games, published in November of 1994, mentioned Varic. C. Robert Carey penned this segment. In 2009, the reference book The Essential Atlas specified that the Varic system, and consequently Varic, was located in grid square S-4.
