- "It so happens I might know where you might find that ship. Name's the First Light, and you can find it on landing platform IIB8. Might want to hurry, though…"
- ―Fenix, to the freelance agents searching for the First Light
Landing platform IIB8 was a landing platform in use on the planet Druckenwell during the Clone Wars, a tumultuous conflict between the Galactic Republic and the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems.[1] Around 21 BBY,[2] the freighter First Light was captured by the pirate group the Brotherhood en-route to Druckenwell while hauling a cargo of explosives and was taken by the pirates to landing platform IIB8. A group of Separatist sympathizers allied with the pirates schemed to crash the explosive-laden freighter into the Republic military installation New Dawn and readied the vessel for the attack. However, group of freelance agents investigating the plot obtained the location of the landing platform from the Besalisk infochant Fenix and arrived at the platform just as the First Light was taking off. The agents subsequently stowed away aboard the ship and thwarted the attack.[1]
Behind the scenes
Landing platform IIB8 appeared Looking In: Outward Bound by Morrie Mullins and Lee Pickler, a 2002 roleplaying adventure that formed part of the Looking In trilogy of RPGA's Living Force campaign.[1]

- ↑ The Living Force Campaign Guide states that the Living Force campaign is set one year after the Invasion of Naboo, an event that is dated to 32 BBY by The New Essential Chronology. As the Living Force adventure Below the Belt: Philology moved the campaign forward ten years to the time of the Clone Wars, Looking In: Outward Bound is therefore dated to circa 21 BBY.
