Stormtrooper guards patrol the stolen X-Wings
- "Your orders are to go to Bela Vistal and listen in on a meeting of Imperial officers. With luck, they'll let slip the location of some starships the Empire has taken from us."
- ―Wedge Antilles, to a Rebel spacer
An Imperial Base in the Dregan's Pike region of the Core World of Corellia was in operation during the time of the Galactic Civil War. This base was under the control of the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Yavin.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] this base was used as a hiding spot for several stolen Rebel X-Wings. The Empire hoped to use these X-Wings for illicit purposes, in an attempt to turn public opinion against the Rebel Alliance. However, a Rebel operative working for Wedge Antilles overheard two Imperial officers discussing this plan in the city of Bela Vistal. To pave the way for disrupting their plans, a group of Rebel operatives set off towards the base, eliminated a number of stormtrooper guards, and destroyed three security terminals within the base's bunker. A Rebel recovery team eventually managed to recover 85% of the stolen starships.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Imperial Base was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Imperial Base was added to the game with the revamped "Rebel Theme Park," released with the update dubbed "Chapter 6," on May 22, 2007.[4]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Rebel Quest: "Stolen Starships" on Corellia
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
