Fusai

Fusai was a terrestrial astronomical object^[2] located in the Fusai system within the Fusai sector, a subsector of the Zuma sector, in the Outer Rim. It was situated in grid square H-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[1] The Rebel Alliance operated a records office on Fusai during its war against the Galactic Empire.^[2]

By the time of an attack at the Alliance's^[2] Outer Rim^[3] Sunspot Prison^[2] in 0 ABY,^[4] the rebel protocol droid C-3PO had heard from a rebel R5 astromech droid unit that the office on Fusai was looking for protocol droid staff. After the siege, C-3PO told the astromech R2-D2 that^[2] he^[4] intended to request a transfer to work at the records office, as he considered the work there more suitable and safer. R2-D2 then asked if^[2] he^[3] could accompany C-3PO, which the protocol responded to by stating he could not as there were no openings for astromechs at the office.^[2]
