Shantipole Research Station

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Shantipole Research Station was an asteroidal satellite of the Asteroid Shantipole in the Roche System. It was primarily staffed by Verpine of Shantipole; Slayn. and Korpil.

After the Battle of Yavin, the asteroids were the site of Project Shantipole, in which Slayn & Korpil worked with Ackbar to develop the B-wing. When the Empire became aware of this, Governor Bane Nothos blockaded the system. However, the Rebels broke the blockade with the B-wing prototypes and blew up Shantipole Research Station, resulting in Nothos's demotion to Commander.
