The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"I need you to meet with an Ithorian scientist named T'licl Zanedi. He works at an Imperial warehouse, but it ain't really a warehouse. They have some sort of scientific research going on there."
―Qual'do Herm, to a Rebel spacer[1]

An Imperial warehouse in the Riverlands region of the planet Corellia was in operation during the Galactic Civil War. It was used as a secret research center by the Galactic Empire.

History

"The Empire is experimenting with some sort of concentrated energy compound. It's unstable and dangerous."
―T'licl Zanedi, to a Rebel spacer[1]

The facility was under the control of the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Yavin. Although the building was officially a warehouse, it was in fact a secret military research center. The Imperial scientists working there intended to develop a new sort of concentrated energy source.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the Ithorian scientist T'licl Zanedi who worked at the "warehouse" contacted the Rebel Alliance to reveal the aim of the Imperial project. Rebel Officer Qual'do Herm then dispatched a group of Rebel operatives to assault the warehouse. The Rebel spacers therefore attacked the building that was defended by a contingent of stormtroopers. They eventually managed to access the research facility and stole the design overview of the project, development notes and a sample of the new energy compound.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Imperial warehouse was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Imperial warehouse was added to the game with the revamped "Rebel Theme Park," released with the "Chapter 6" update, on May 22, 2007.[4]

  2. ↑ 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.
