Detention Center A was a Galactic Empire prison on the planet Kessel. The camp also consisted of five Imperial fortresses and other military buildings. After the Empire lost the Battle of Endor[1] in 4 ABY,[2] it was decided to abandon Kessel and the atmosphere factories were shut down. The slaves from Detention Center A were forced to keep working in the thinning air. Shortly after, a Wookiee army led by Chewbacca, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Luke Skywalker arrived on Kessel and re-powered the atmosphere factories and liberated the slaves from Detention Center A, Detention Center B, and Detention Center C.[1]
Behind the scenes
Detention Center A was first mentioned in the strategy guide for the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. It appeared in the Chewbacca campaign's bonus mission. The player was tasked with re-powering the atmosphere factories, and may ignore the military buildings in Detention Center A, which is what the strategy guide recommends.[1]
