"We have reason to believe that Imperial General Otto, stationed at the Imperial base on Lok, may be supplying the explosives being used on the corvette. General Otto is known to be fairly careless, so it would not be surprising if the information you seek was in an unsecured crate or desk somewhere. Seek out his base and return with any information you find."
―Master Sergeant Crowley, to a Rebel operative[2]

The Imperial Outpost on Lok was a massive stronghold established by the Galactic Empire as part of their plan to extend their control over less developed worlds.[1]

History

"Go disrupt the Imperial base here on Lok. It's commanded by a man named General Otto. I don't think much of him personally. Show him that being on Lok is not an easy assignment."
―Han Solo, to a Rebel operative[3]

After the Battle of Yavin, this outpost was commanded by General Otto.[4] At some point, a mercenary warlord led a brutal assault on the outpost. General Otto managed to pushed back the attack and the warlord was captured, ending up in the Imperial Prison of Dathomir.[5]

In 1 ABY,[6] the Empire managed to capture a Rebel Corellian corvette and planed to use fill it with explosives and send it hurtling into Centerpoint Station in the Corellian system. The objective was to have the Rebel Alliance blamed for the attack. As the Rebels suspected General Otto might be supplying the explosives being used on the corvette, Master Sergeant Crowley therefore sent an agent to the Imperial outpost on Lok. The Rebel operative successfully retrieved data including the location of the stolen corvette.[2]

Around the same time, the retired Imperial Naval Captain Boyrake was present in the outpost.[7] Meanwhile, a spacer managed to infiltrate the base and stole a piece of shock trooper armor.[8]

The same year, Han Solo tasked Rebel operatives to disrupt the Imperial outpost to show to the Empire that being on Lok is not an easy assignment. The Rebels infiltrated the base where they shut down the power generators and switched some Imperial banners for Rebel banners. They also attacked General Otto who barely survived the raid.[3]

  6. ↑ 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.
