DescriptionEdit

Located in a remote sector of the galaxy, RZ7-6113-23 was a small class-6 planetoid. A largely barren and volcanic planetoid that was devoid of life^[1], RZ7-6113-23 was nevertheless the site for a large military storehouse.^[2]

HistoryEdit

During the early days of the Galactic Empire, a storehouse was secretly built on the planetoid. Various outdated hardware officially known to be retired from the Imperial army, such as the Acclamator-class assault ship and the AT-AP, were rerouted from impoundment to the storehouse.^[2]

By 13 ABY, the warlord Devian had established his headquarters in the storehouse, leading a splinter government of the Galactic Empire known as the "Restored Empire". Having lost faith in the direction of the Imperial Remnant under Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, Devian planned to use the storehouse's supplies to assemble an army large enough to launch an attack on both the Remnant and their adversaries in the New Republic, establishing a new order worthy of the late Emperor Palpatine's vision.^[2] At one point, the New Republic Dauntless-class heavy cruiser Endor was destroyed by an Imperial "hard-liner" projectile cannon fired from the surface of the planet.^[1]

As part of his plot, Devian had the former Imperial Royal Guard member Kir Kanos abducted and taken to RZ7-6118-23 in an attempt to recruit him. However, Kanos's conflicting code of honor led him to reject the offer, and escaped the planetoid in a stolen shuttle after a massive firefight in the Imperial storehouse.^[2]
