Base Cay

"Kessel, Fondor, targeting consoles from Jakku, proton warheads from Base Cay, the Steergard Starpath."
―Attendant Heert, to Supervisor Dedra Meero[1]

Base Cay was a location.[1] In 5 BBY,[2] rebel activity involving Base Cay and its proton warheads was recounted by Imperial Security Bureau Attendant Avril Heert as[1] he[3] and ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero reviewed files on recent rebel actions. When coupled with incidents at[1] the planets[3][4] Kessel, Jakku, Fondor, and[1] the astronomical object[5] Steergard, Meero felt the actions were spread out in a way that would indicate an organized rebel movement attempting to avoid detection. Heert agreed, stating the locations were "too random to be random."[1]

Behind the scenes

Base Cay was mentioned in "The Axe Forgets,"[1] the fifth episode of the first season of the live-action Disney+ television series Star Wars: Andor, which aired on October 5, 2022.[6] Following the release of[7] the June 24, 2025[8] "Star Systems of the Galaxy" appendix published with Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com,[7] author Jason Fry stated that Base Cay had not been included in the work due to it being a nickname[9] or codename.[8]
