- "You find any planets in your database that look like the one I described, Artoo? Trinary star system, water world, red landmasses?"
- ―Luke Skywalker, to R2-D2
Serelia[3] was a planet was located in a star system centered around a trinary star[2] in the Mid Rim Territories.[1] Its surface was mostly covered in oceans, which supported aquatic life and the planet's fishing industry, though it had occasional red landmasses. While searching for his lost lightsaber during a Rebel Alliance mission to Cloud City, hopeful Jedi Luke Skywalker saw a Force vision of a woman on the planet. His astromech droid R2-D2 found the planet in his database,[2] and Skywalker visited it in an attempt to find the woman from his vision. When he did, she fled, with Skywalker and his droid giving chase across the water but eventually being captured by the woman, who revealed to Skywalker that she was indeed a Force user named Verla.[3]
