Shantipole Research station

Shantipole Research station was where the B-Wing Starfighter was first developed by the Verpine. Admiral Ackbar was overseeing the project himself. Unfortunatly the Empire learned of the project through a traitor in Ackbar's staff. Ackbar and his fellow Rebel officers were rescued and the Verpine escaped through the Correllian Corvette Shantipole. There were two prototypes of the B-Wing. Prototype number 1 was unarmed and had to leave quickly while Prototype 2 showed the fighter's combat abilities through the use of covering the evacuation. 4 X-wings from Blue Squardron also helped the evacuation. Both Ackbar and the Verpine escaped and the Empire's attempt to seize or destroy the project had failed.
