Bastion/Legends

Bastion, originally called Sartinaynian, was the capital world of the Imperial Remnant. Bastion's location was a closely guarded secret until the events surrounding the discovery of the Caamas Document forced Han Solo and Lando Calrissian to locate the planet in an attempt to find a complete copy. It was orbited by the Bastion customs station.

It was located in the Sartinaynian system of the Outer Rim's Braxant Sector, along the trade route known as the Braxant Run. Sartinaynian was originally settled by Humans who opposed alien membership in the Galactic Republic, but political realities eventually forced the colonists to join the Republic. Ironically, the colony heavily relied on the InterGalactic Banking Clan homeworld of Muunilinst for financial support&mdash;another irony, as Muunilinst was later a member world of the Imperial Remnant of which Sartinaynian became capital.

The name "Bastion" was a codename used by the Imperial Remnant for whatever world served as their capital; during the latter years of the Galactic Civil War, the capital was moved from planet to planet, each temporarily being "Bastion". The last planet so dubbed, in 19 ABY, was Sartinaynian, and following the Bastion Accords that ended the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Remnant no longer required a mobile, secret capital; thus, Bastion became synonymous with Sartinaynian, and the name Sartinaynian apparently fell out of common use (at least, amongst the people of the New Republic, and in communications between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant).

In addition to serving as capital of the Imperial Remnant as a whole, Bastion also served as throneworld for the Imperial Moffs of Braxant Sector, Moff Disra during the Galactic Civil War, and his successor, Ephin Saretti during the Yuuzhan Vong War. While Disra had been appointed a Moff by Emperor Palpatine, Saretti was a young man whom had never even met Palpatine, and was not as enmeshed in Palpatine's prejudices, making him a more popular leader in the progressive, "reformed" Imperial Remnant.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Bastion was attacked by forces under the command of B'shith Vorrik. Vorrik destroyed the planetary defenses and the bulk of the Imperial fleet there, as well as destroying much of the surface of the planet. Fortunately, the fleet was able to buy enough time for most of the planet's population to evacuate before it was defeated.
