The Kashyyyk system was located in the Mytaranor Sector of the Mid Rim.
The solar system contained the inhabited worlds of Kashyyyk, home of the Wookies, and Trandosha home of the Trandoshans. It also contained the Wookiee colony moon of Alaris Prime orbiting the gas giant Alaris, as well as the Trandoshan moon of Wasskah, where Trandoshans hunted various species captured around the galaxy for sport. The system was relatively isolated as it was far from the central trade routes, although it was located close to a major route for the southwestern quadrant, and was home to an important Republic navigation and communication relay station.
About 4000 BBY, the system was controlled by Czerka Corporation, who was using the Wookiees as slaves. In his quest for the star maps leading to the star forge, Revan visited Kashyyyk and defeated the Wookiee chief, who was selling Wookiees to Czerka in exchange for weapons, therefore freeing the Wookiees
The Wookiees and Trandoshans of the system were locked in a bitter rivalry for centuries. During the waning days of the Republic, this became a pressure point when debate arose over which planet's representative would be chosen as the system's Senator in the Galactic Senate. The Republic considers now both planets independent, representatives of each holding their seat in the Senate, sharing the dividends of the entire system.
This is a strategic position for commerce in the Republic. Given its distance to the capital and main trade routes, is considered the center of its own but profitable trade lines within the Mid Rim.
