Ebaq 9

Ebaq 9 was a natural satellite of the Deep Core planet Ebaq. The moon was a barren planetoid.

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Deep Core Mining Corporation was permitted to build mines and refineries to process the moon's valuable bronzium deposits, as well as a small base to handle emergency resupply and transportation. When the Empire began to crumble, DCMC abandoned their facility.

In 28 ABY, the Treskov system was chosen by Admiral Ackbar as the location for a trap to lure a Yuuzhan Vong force along the dead-end hyperlane that led to Ebaq and destroy it. The old DCMC facility on Ebaq 9 made it the ideal location for a base of operations to serve as lure, resulting in the Battle of Ebaq 9.

Behind the scenes

 * Wizards of the Coast refers to Ebaq 9 as a green world with jungles.
 * The New Essential Chronology incorrectly states that Tarkin's Fang was a base on the surface of Ebaq 9, as opposed to a planet itself.
