- "A weapons depot buried on the forest moon. Well hidden. I was its administrator. It's vast, Moff Adelhard. And with the right retrieval squad… I could deliver it in full."
- ―Tern Koyatta
The Imperial weapons cache[4] was a hidden weapons depot on the moon Endor[2] established by maintenance technician Tern Koyatta for the Galactic Empire should the DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station be destroyed.[3] Koyatta sealed the entrance to the depot using Imperial construction droids.[5] Following the defeat of the Empire at Endor during the Battle of Endor and loss of Death Star II[2] in 4 ABY,[1] Koyatta, using a stolen code cylinder and Imperial officer's uniform taken from a dead Imperial officer to present himself as a general,[3] left Endor and was picked up by the forces of Governor Ubrik Adelhard. Koyatta told Adelhard of the depot and claimed to have been its administrator, asking for forces to retrieve it for Adelhard, which the governor granted.[2] The cache meanwhile had been unsealed by the Gorax known as the Great Devourer, who turned it into a den a left animal bones scattered among the Imperial vehicles inside.[3]
Koyatta and his squad successfully made their way to the depot with the Ewok Wicket Wystri Warrick as an unwilling guide[5] and fought the Great Devourer when it attacked them, with Koyatta gradually killing it by shooting it the chest with a EPS-6 superheavy blaster cannon from the cache. However, Warrick recruited a group of Yuzzums who lived near the depot and bested the Imperials, forcing them to leave Endor empty handed. Warrick and the Ewoks Asha Fahn and Meedro then sealed and burned the depot.[3]
