Alliance Comms Center

"The Rebels will see no more use from this communications center&mdash;destroy it!"

- Darth Vader orders the Imperial forces to assault the communications array

A communications center was constructed on the Inner Rim planet Thyferra by the Galactic Empire. The structure was eventually abandoned and subsequently came into the possession of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, an organization rebelling against the Imperial government. The Alliance also constructed anti-infantry turrets near the uplink and maintained a garrison of Rebel troopers and two T2-B repulsor tanks in close proximity.

Around 0 BBY, Darth Vader &mdash;the Sith apprentice of Galactic Emperor Palpatine &mdash;invaded Thyferra with a force of stormtroopers and All Terrain Scout Transports led by a field commander. The units killed the Rebel units guarding the array before destroying the building itself under orders from Vader and continuing with their assault. The Alliance base was eventually destroyed and its garrison neutralized.

Behind the scenes
The communications center's only appearance to-date is in the 2006 video game Star Wars: Empire at War. The structure appears in the first mission of the Imperial story campaign and its fate depends on the player's performance.
