Allst Prime

OnACanonArticle

"You know what's amazing? Office like this for an Imp administrator on a backworld planet like Allst Prime, and there's a city full of half naked kids just outside the gates, digging through trash heaps for junk to sell or trade so they can get a bite to eat."
―Micha Evon[4]

Allst Prime was a backwater planet in the Mid Rim Territories where Governor Magé rule over an impoverished population during the Galactic Empire's reign. Between 2 BBY and 0 BBY, the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry was deployed into Allst Prime to destroy the Imperial outpost there. During the battle, the rebel soldier, secretly a bounty hunter, Brand rescued one of her comrades and then joined Captain Micha Evon to incapacitate Magé at her headquarters. Brand then intended to collect the bounty on Evon, but the captain convinced her to stay with the 61st.

Description

Allst Prime was a backwater planet[4] in the Taldot sector's Allst Prime system, within an intersecting portion of the Mid Rim Territories[1] and the Slice regions.[2] Situated at the coordinates Q-8 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it featured forests, at least one city, an Imperial outpost, and an Imperial headquarters.[4] The world's Type I atmosphere[3] was breathable to at least humans and mirialans.[4]

History

"All I want is unswerving loyalty—not to the Alliance, and not even to me, but to the people out there, the ones you saved today."

During the Galactic Empire's reign, Allst Prime was governed by the administrator Magé, who lived in luxury in the planet's Imperial headquarters while the residents in the nearby city lived in poverty, half-naked children digging through trash heaps for junk to sell for food.[4] Between 2 BBY and 0 BBY,[5] the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry was deployed to the planet to destroy the Imperial outpost. The rebel soldiers of the 61st engaged Imperial forces on Allst Prime.[4]

The locals of Allst Prime did not put up much resistance to the 61st's arrival. During the fighting, the rebel soldier Brand—secretly a bounty hunter sent to kill the 61st's Captain Micha Evon—rescued her Mirialan comrade Lylee Anaraku from an AT-ST walker. After the pair exchanged, Brand aimed her blaster at a distant Evon, who was filling in for the fallen Forward Air Controller Cait. Anaraku was then injured by an Imperial who Brand killed before she tended to her Mirialan friend.[4]

Later, Brand and Evon entered the Imperial headquarters and incapacitated Governor Magé and her aide at the governor's officer. At Magé's office, Brand drew her blaster on Evon to take the bounty on him. However, Evon had already learned of the bounty hunter's background and motives and discussed it to her, convincing her to stay with the 61st for the soldiers she had become close to.[4]

  5. ↑ In Battlefront: Twilight Company, the rebel trooper Hazram Namir refers to Brand as a bounty hunter during the battle on Vir Aphshire, which occurs concurrently with the Battle of Yavin. As "Inbrief" establishes that Brand's bounty hunter past was not known by other rebels until the battle of Allst Prime, that battle must have taken place before the Battle of Yavin, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to the time period that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas refers to as 0 BBY. Since the Rebel Alliance participates in the battle of Allst Prime, the battle must take place after the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance, which Timelines places in 2 BBY. Therefore, the battle of Allst Prime, and thus the main events of "Inbrief," must take place between 2 BBY and 0 BBY.
