Gerbaud system

The Gerbaud system, also spelled as the Gaerboud system, was a system in the Sepan sector best known for manufacturing the TIE Avenger starfighter for the Galactic Empire. The system was visited by the Escort Carrier Tropsobor and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer (Mark I) Dauntless in the course of both ships' mission to acquire complements of Avenger starfighters. The attack on the X7-type factory station Sentinel by a group of Rebel snubfighters during the transfer of Avengers to the Dauntless sparked a minor space battle.

Sentinel was likely destroyed either during the Rebel attack or by the rogue forces of Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin in the Imperial renegade's successful campaign to destroy major TIE Avenger production facilities.

Behind the scenes
The system was first seen in the Star Wars: TIE Fighter PC game, where it was spelled as the Gerbaud system. As per naming conventions, the original spelling is used. The role of the system as the site of a TIE Avenger deep-space manufacturing plant in TIE Fighter makes it likely that the Gaerboud system seen in the sequel Star Wars: X-wing vs. TIE Fighter is in fact the same Gerbaud system with an alternate spelling.
