Tancon was a terrestrial planet[3] located in the Tancon system of the Outer Rim Territories' Koradin sector.[1] It was situated at a distance of two days' travel with a starship equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive from the Soarin system[3] of the Wazta sector.[4] At some point between 0 ABY and 3 ABY,[5] the Rebel Alliance maintained on Tancon a base with a briefing room in it.[3]
The base's commander at one point briefed a Rebel team that was due for a rest-and-recuperation period on a mission to deliver supplies from the Soarin system's Greyman's Planet to the Alliance's Karinda Outpost on the Karinda system planet of the same name. The team then departed for Greyman's Planet aboard the base's light freighter Arion Star.[3]
Behind the scenes
Tancon appeared in the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game adventure "Milk Run," which was written by Sterling Hershey[3] and was run by the RPGA Network at the 1991 Gen Con gaming convention.[6] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Tancon system, and therefore the planet itself, in grid square J-18.[2]
