"Now they're making precision strikes. We lost all hands aboard the Huntsman and the Kalpana. I'm sure the 204th was involved in the raid on Beauchen."
―Caern Adan, to IT-O — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[2]

Beauchen was a terrestrial astronomical object[2] located in an eponymous star system within the Mid Rim Territories' Vensori sector. Situated in the grid square P-8 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] it was where the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing conducted a raid[3] in 4 ABY.[4] Caern Adan, an operative in the New Republic Intelligence, suspected the fighter wing of being involved in the raid and voiced his suspicions in a conversation with the reprogrammed IT-O Interrogation Unit IT-O[2] that same year.[5] In 5 ABY,[6] Adan and the New Republic pilot Yrica Quell, while aboard the Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship Lodestar, reviewed the massacre at the location Anx Minor and Quell considered the event as in line and as bloody as 204th's raid on Beauchen.[3]
