A stormtrooper securing the Imperial Base
- "Other arrangements are being made to rescue Simo as the Empire transfers him off of Naboo, but his personal effects are back at the small Imperial base where Simo was first being held. Go there and get the contact list."
- ―C-3PO, to a Rebel spacer
An Imperial Base located on the Mid Rim world of Naboo, some distance west of the Gungan Sacred Place, was operated by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the base was used to detain a Rebel spy by the name of Simo Oron, before he was transferred off world. However, his personal effects, including a sensitive contact list, were left behind. Protocol droid C-3PO tasked a group of Rebel operatives with recovering this list before it ended up being discovered by the Empire. The Rebel spacers therefore attacked the base that was defended by a contingent of stormtroopers. They eventually managed to access the deepest level of the base and recovered the list.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Imperial Base on Naboo 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 "Chapter 6" update, on May 22, 2007.[4]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Rebel Quest: "The Spy's Contact List" 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.
