Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

The Tantiss Base communication center was a communication center[1] within Tantiss Base of Mount Tantiss, which provided incoming transports with clearance and instructions on how to approach and land on the facility.[2]

In around 18 BBY,[3] Shuttle 135, approaching the facility in bad weather and low visibility, contacted the air traffic control room for assistance and was instructed by the Imperial weapons technicians on duty to keep to the flight path. The shuttle was, however, struck by lightning and went down in the jungle surrounding the base. Still connected to the control room, the trooper TK-343 asked for help as the stranded crew were attacked by a dryax, but chief scientist Royce Hemlock terminated the connection and told the technicians that anything outside the base perimeter was to be considered dead.[2]

Therefore, the first season ends in 19 BBY. The Bad Batch Season 2 episode "Truth and Consequences" features the official formation of the Stormtrooper Corps. According to Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide, that official foundation occurred in 18 BBY, thereby placing "Truth and Consequences" in 18 BBY. The events of "The Clone Conspiracy" directly proceed those of "Truth and Consequences," which places it in 18 BBY as well. As such, The Bad Batch Season 2 episodes up to "The Clone Conspiracy" take place between 19 BBY and 18 BBY.
