A tiny and ill-supplied rebel outpost was located on[1] the Outer Rim[2] terrestrial astronomical object Cassidode VI. The Alliance to Restore the Republic flier Farns Monsbee was the sole snubfighter pilot[1] protecting[3] the outpost and flew the base's only starfighter, an X-wing,[4] for many solo flight hours.[5]
At some point prior to the Battle of Scarif[1] in 1 BBY,[6] Monsbee was transferred to Blue Squadron on the moon Yavin 4. His time on Cassidode VI meant he had logged more solo flight hours than anyone in his new squadron,[1] with the long periods of isolation resulting in Monsbee becoming chatty in the recreation room.[5]
Behind the scenes
The outpost was first mentioned in the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]
