Allanteen VI

Allanteen VI, or simply Allanteen, was an astronomical object located in the Expansion Region, on the Corellian Run and the Shipwrights' Trace hyperspace routes. It was the site of a shipyard that was a major producer of the Galactic Empire's starships. Rebel agents based around Allanteen VI reported to General Airen Cracken of the Rebel Alliance on the shipyard's production. General Crix Madine considered the shipyard a potential target for a rebel campaign if another campaign, Operation Ringbreaker, was successful.

Description

Allanteen VI,^[4] also known as just Allanteen,^[6] was an astronomical object located in the sixth position^[4] of the Tynna sector's Allanteen system within the Expansion Region^[1] and the Slice.^[2] Situated in the grid square O-14 of the Standard Galactic Grid, it was located on the Corellian Run^[3] super-hyperroute^[7] between the Rhommamool and Gamor systems,^[8] and also on the hyperspace route known as the Shipwrights' Trace,^[5] which connected it to the Tynna system and ultimately the Foless system.^[3]

History

During the time of the Galactic Empire, Allanteen VI was the site of a shipyard that became a major production source of Imperial starships. General Airen Cracken of the then-unofficial Rebellion's Intelligence branch had a number of agents operating around Allanteen and other Imperial shipyard hubs including Corellia, Fondor, Kuat, and Ringo Vinda. Through those agents, he gathered information on the Imperial Navy's Star Destroyers and patrol vessels and detailed them in an official document addressed to the Rebellion's leader, Mon Mothma, that cited Allanteen VI as part of the investigations.^[4]

In 3 ABY,^[9] the since-officialized Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry led a campaign named Operation Ringbreaker against a number of minor Imperial resource hubs, with the Kuat Drive Yards, the Empire's primary source of Star Destroyer production and servicing, being the final target.^[10] The Alliance Intelligence vetted the campaign from afar, and General Crix Madine, inspired by its early success, made a galactic map of major Imperial shipyards, drydocks, and mining centers that could be targeted if Kuat Drive Yards was successfully sabotaged, attaching it to another official document sent to Mothma. Allanteen VI was included on the map, labeled as having a low production rate and security level. Operation Ringbreaker, however, was ultimately cut short. Archivist Hendri Underholt eventually added both documents mentioning Allanteen VI to a compilation of non-electronic documents called The Rebel Files.^[4] In 34 ABY,^[11] Allanteen's position was displayed in a partial map of the galaxy on several screens aboard Chandrila Star Line's Star Cruiser Halcyon.^[12]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, Allanteen VI was first mentioned on a map included in the fifty-second issue of De Agostini's magazine series Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon,^[13] published around December 30, 2015.^[14] The map only used the shorter designation "Allanteen,"^[13] which was first described as a celestial body in "Where in the Galaxy Are the Worlds of Rogue One?," a StarWars.com article written by Mark Newbold and published on January 31 2017.^[6] The celestial body was then given its full name in the reference book and boxed set Star Wars: The Rebel Files, written by Daniel Wallace^[4] and released on November 21 of that same year.^[15] Its first in-universe appearance came in the form of a map depiction viewable in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive roleplaying experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida^[12] that was opened to the public on March 1, 2022,^[16] and had its final voyage from September 28 to 30, 2023.^[17]

The planet Allanteen VI originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in The Clone Wars: Wild Space, a tie-in novel for the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Wild Space was written by Karen Miller^[18] and was published on December 9 that same year.^[19]
