Docking Bay 9 was a docking bay located in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, located in close proximity to Merchant Row. By 34 ABY,[2] the First Order had a presence there, using it as a recruiting station.[3] A cargo area housed and sold propaganda items promoting the First Order. A TIE echelon belonging to Kylo Ren was parked in the area.
Behind the scenes
Docking Bay 9
The docking bay, alongside Merchant Row, was named on trading cards available at Disney's December 16, 2017 "Galactic Nights" session, previewing locations in the upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge park area. A portion of the card set's Aurebesh poem on the border of the card read, "A BEACON FOR DRIFTERS".
Press information referred to Docking Bay 9 as the place where guests can join the First Order,[3] and it would later be revealed as the location for the First Order Cargo shop. The Galaxy's Edge model unveiled by Disney showed a TIE fighter in the area, but the real world location had the new TIE echelon instead.
