The Jahilid Drift was located in Wild Space. This area of space contained Koltine, Pral and other worlds. The Jahilid system was probably located within or near this region.
More than a decade after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the Kaleesh Imperial general Bentilais san Sk'ar led a strike force to conquer several worlds along the Jahilid Drift, including Pral and Koltine. Sk'ar's victories in the region led to a boost in his reputation, even among the most speciesist Imperial admirals.
Although the 2008 reference book The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia stated that the Jahilid Drift was a region of the Outer Rim Territories, the 2009 book The Essential Atlas later established that the Jahilid Drift was actually located in Wild Space. Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, confirmed during the development of the The Essential Atlas Online Companion that the Wild Space localization prevails.
