A stormtrooper securing the Imperial Base
- "Other arrangements are being made to rescue Simo as the Empire transfers him off of Naboo, but his personal effects are back at the small Imperial base where Simo was first being held. Go there and get the contact list."
- ―C-3PO, to a Rebel spacer
An Imperial Base located on the Mid Rim world of Naboo, some distance west of the Gungan Sacred Place, was operated by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the base was used to detain a Rebel spy by the name of Simo Oron, before he was transferred off world. However, his personal effects, including a sensitive contact list, were left behind. Protocol droid C-3PO tasked a group of Rebel operatives with recovering this list before it ended up being discovered by the Empire. The Rebel spacers therefore attacked the base that was defended by a contingent of stormtroopers. They eventually managed to access the deepest level of the base and recovered the list.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Imperial Base on Naboo was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Imperial Base was added to the game with the revamped "Rebel Theme Park," released with the "Chapter 6" update, on May 22, 2007.[4]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
