After the end of their conquest of the galaxy around 3636 BBY, the Eternal Empire of the planet Zakuul built a shield bunker atop a rocky spire in the Wound on the planet Tatooine to support the Star Fortress that they placed in geosynchronous orbit above the bunker.[4] Commanded by ZK-163M, an elite Skytrooper, the bunker and its deflector shield generator was protected by powerful defensive emplacements, walkers, and Eternal Empire troopers.[3] Around 3630 BBY,[2] the Outlander—leader of an Alliance against Zakuul—rallied the local resistance against the Eternal Empire[4] and organized a bombardment of the bunker, allowing the Outlander and the Selonian Leyta to infiltrate and destroy the bunker and thus expose the Star Fortress.[3]
Behind the scenes
The shield bunker on Tatooine was first added to the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic in Knights of the Fallen Empire, a 2015 Digital Expansion.
