- "This place is a backwater world, so I don't think we'll see much in the way of a stormtrooper presence…"
- ―Cassian Andor
Wecacoe was a planet located in the galaxy's Colonies region that Captain Cassian Andor, Kertas, and Rismor of the Rebel Alliance traveled to in order to extract Imperial security protocols.
Description
- "This can't be right! Why all of this manpower on a nowhere planet like this?"
- ―Cassian Andor
Wecacoe was a desert planet that was host to at least one city, Weacoe city. Cassian Andor described it as a backwater. The Galactic Empire had constructed storage facility 47 inside the city.[2]
History
Wecacoe was the site of an Imperial garrison during the Imperial Era.[4]
Cassian Andor, along with the twins Kertas and Rismor, went to Wecacoe to undertake a mission to extract Imperial security protocols. While inside storage facility 47, they were confronted by the KX-series security droid K-2SO. Kertas and Rismor managed to wipe most of K-2SO's memory, and Andor ordered him to escort them back to their ship. After a brief confrontation with several stormtroopers, Andor and K-2SO located a new ship and escaped Wecacoe.[2]
Behind the scenes
Wecacoe first appeared in Rogue One - Cassian & K-2SO Special 1, a canon comic[2] published on August 9, 2017.[5] However, season 2 of the television series Star Wars: Andor presented a different interpretation of the bonding between Cassian Andor and K-2SO, showing him as having participated in the Ghorman Massacre in 2 BBY.[6] As there has not been any explanation given for the discrepancy as of writing this passage, this makes the events of the comic and everything in it debatable in canonicity.
