Mefti was an astronomical object located in the regions known as the Colonies[1] and the Interior.[2] It was situated in grid square L-8 of the Standard Galactic Grid and was connected to the Thrinittik system[1] and the celestial body Uviuy Exen via the hyperspace route known as the Shwuy Exchange.[3] Mefti was the homeworld of[5] the sentient Meftian species.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Mefti was mentioned on a map[1] created for the reference book Star Wars: Timelines and given out as a promotional poster at Celebration Anaheim[6] on May 27, 2022[7] prior to the book's release during Celebration Europe[8] of April 7 through 10, 2023.[9]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on December 11, 2007 at 7:59 AM; accessed February 2, 2024): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and Star Wars Galaxy Map, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. This article treats Mefti as one such homeworld with regard to the Meftian species.
