Weapons Research Facility

The Weapons Research Facility was an Imperial research and development center on the ice planet Fest. It was guarded by a shield generator and a pair of turrets, as well as a number of outposts in the outlying vicinity.

History
The facility undertook projects that were overseen by a number of different Moffs. Moff Kohl Seerdon used the facility to construct AT-PTs. As part of the Dark Trooper Project, Moff Rebus had the facility process phrikite and tydirium into the super-strong alloy phrik. This, he used to armor his droid designs. The facility also tortured an Ewok prisoner for an unknown reason.

In 1 ABY, the facility was raided twice by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Alliance had recently joined forces with the Atrivis Resistance Group, providing them more access to the sector. In the first raid, operative Kyle Katarn infiltrated the facility and stole a sample of phrik.

The second mission involved a team of Rebel commandos penetrated the complex and stole three AT-PTs, but their escape was prevented, requiring Rogue Squadron to provide additional support. In the ensuing battle, the complex was destroyed.
