The Iron Tower was a completely automated tower on Aridus that acted both as a signal amplifier and power transformer, allowing unrestricted communications and supplying the energy needed to run Imperial hover-trains.

HistoryEdit

Hazardous lava pits were located in the mining region immediately surrounding the Iron Tower. Unfortunately, the powerful signals emanating from the tower had a harmful effect on the local Chubbits, crippling their nervous systems and eventually killing many.

The tower was neutralized shortly after the Battle of Yavin by an Imperial-turned-Rebel actor portraying Obi-Wan Kenobi.
