Research Station Shantipole

Shantipole Research Station was an asteroidal satellite of the Asteroid Shantipole in the Roche System. It was primarily staffed by Verpine of Shantipole; Slayn. and Korpil.

After the Battle of Yavin, the asteroids were the site of Project Shantipole, in which Slayn & Korpil worked with Ackbar to develop the B-wing. When the Empire became aware of this, Governor Bane Nothos blockaded the system. However, the Rebels broke the blockade with the B-wing prototypes and blew up Shantipole Research Station, resulting in Nothos's demotion to Commander.
