Imperial Encampment

OnALegendsArticle

"I would offer you the warning to not approach the area we are herding these Rebels to. The stormtroopers there have orders of shoot to kill."
―An Imperial major, to a spacer[3]

The Imperial Encampment, also known as the Imperial Military Base, was a sizable Imperial installation on Naboo's swamp moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

Description

Located some distance south of the city of Narmle, the Imperial Encampment was a fortified Imperial stronghold. It consisted of a large main building, three smaller outpost buildings, and multiple watch towers. It was staffed by a couple All Terrain Scout Transports and many stormtroopers and Imperial officers. Some of the more specialized troopers staffing the base included stormtrooper snipers and dark troopers.[1]

History

"This declaration concerns all Rebels and sympathizers to the Rebel cause. The Empire has chosen to end it's [sic] war with Rebellion. The Empire is offering amnesty to all Rebels, and has set a meeting location for peace negotiations. Are you interested in peace with the Empire?"
―An Imperial major, to a spacer[3]

Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, an Imperial major in Narmle attempted to trick members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to visit this base, under the pretense of peace negotiations. In fact, he had ordered the stormtroopers to shoot and kill any visitors.[3]

In 1 ABY,[4] the Imperial Encampment had become a contested hotspot in the Galactic Civil War and Imperial and Rebel forces fought several times for the control of the base. Rebel forces managed to capture the camp several times but Imperial forces had always taken it back.[2] Around the same time, a spacer managed to infiltrate the Imperial Encampment and stole a piece of stormtrooper armor.[5]

Behind the scenes

The Imperial Encampment was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[6] Players who visited the encampment were awarded with an exploration badge.[1] With the release of the "Publish 1" update on August 3, 2003,[7] the Imperial Encampment was turned into a "Factional NPC Base". Groups of Rebel players could attack Imperial NPCs and achieve several objectives to take control of the base.[2]

  4. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
