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.
[edit] History
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.
[edit] Appearances
- The Return of Ben Kenobi (First appearance)
- Shadow Stalker (Indirect mention only)
