Crait outpost

The Crait outpost was an outpost of the Alliance to Restore the Republic on the mineral planet of Crait. Rebel pilot Heff Tobber was stationed there as a transport pilot until its abandonment prior to the Battle of Scarif in 0 BBY. Many years later, some time after the destruction of the First Order's Starkiller Base in 34 ABY, the abandoned base was still there when a battle broke out between the Resistance and the First Order on the planet surface.

Description
The outpost was a rough, bare-bones facility. It was mostly underground, and had a small tractor beam for snagging approaching ships.

History
It was first founded before 3 BBY as an outpost of the early rebellion. After finding information leading to the planet, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan travelled to Crait on the royal yacht Polestar. Upon landing, she was taken to the outpost, where she discovered that her father Bail Organa was involved in the rebellion.

Behind the scenes
The Crait outpost was first mentioned in Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, a reference guide for the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, written by Pablo Hidalgo and released on December 16, 2016. The planet Crait will appear in Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, the upcoming eighth film in the Star Wars saga, which is scheduled for release on December 15, 2017.
