- ―Nym to the Lok Revenants[src]
Nym’s Base was the hideout and main headquarters of the pirate Nym, located on the surface of Lok in a relatively desolate area. It was constructed out of a crater close to the Grendin River and went through several reconstructions as a contested site between Nym and the Trade Federation.

[edit] History
The Lok Revenants operated out of the base, and would frequently attack passing Trade Federation supply ships above the planet, bringing them down and salvaging their cargo. It was unknown how long Nym had been using the base for, but as of 32 BBY it was already well established.[1]
Things took a turn for the worse for Nym when he and his Revenants attacked a Trade Federation super freighter carrying prototype Vulture droid starfighters. While the Federation had turned a blind eye to the Revenants' previous attacks, this cargo was far too valuable, and they launched a full-scale invasion of Lok, leaving Nym and his friends little option but to retreat under fire. The attack nearly caused the death of Nym’s aide, Jinkins, but he was saved by Nym, and accompanied the evacuation transports as they departed Lok.[1]
[edit] Trade Federation control and onwards
- "I’ve waited a long time for this!"
- ―Nym upon retaking his base[src]
With Nym chased off the planet, the base fell under the control of the Federation, and they did not hesitate with their modifications. The open crater was sealed with a large dome and the inside converted into a droid foundry and hangar.[2]
The immediate area was converted into fueling stations for Federation freighters. In 22 BBY, these stations were destroyed in battle by the orbital cannon that had been assembled on one of Lok’s moons by the returning Revenants. With the death of Lieutenant Bella, the base was once again under the control of Nym, after his assault on the complex.[2]
[edit] Nym's Palace
Nym eventually became the leader of Lok during the Galactic Civil War, and would continue to use this as his base of operations. By then, it was known as Nym’s Palace or Nym's Stronghold, and had once again undergone a dramatic transformation. It was now the largest city on Lok and held the only starport on the entire planet. Both Lord Nym and Jinkins could usually be found here and were known to employ a variety of characters to carry out assignments on their behalf.[3] In 1 ABY, Nym's Anniversary Bash was held there.
