- "I would offer you the warning to not approach the area we are herding these Rebels to. The stormtroopers there have orders of shoot to kill."

The Imperial Encampment, also known as the Imperial Military Base, was a sizable Imperial installation on Naboo's swamp moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Description[]
Located some distance south of the city of Narmle, the Imperial Encampment was a fortified Imperial stronghold. It consisted of a large main building, three smaller outpost buildings, and multiple watch towers. It was staffed by a couple All Terrain Scout Transports and many stormtroopers and Imperial officers. Some of the more specialized troopers staffing the base included stormtrooper snipers and dark troopers.[1]
History[]
- "This declaration concerns all Rebels and sympathizers to the Rebel cause. The Empire has chosen to end it's [sic] war with Rebellion. The Empire is offering amnesty to all Rebels, and has set a meeting location for peace negotiations. Are you interested in peace with the Empire?"
- ―An Imperial major, to a spacer
Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, an Imperial major in Narmle attempted to trick members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to visit this base, under the pretense of peace negotiations. In fact, he had ordered the stormtroopers to shoot and kill any visitors.[3]
In 1 ABY,[4] the Imperial Encampment had become a contested hotspot in the Galactic Civil War and Imperial and Rebel forces fought several times for the control of the base. Rebel forces managed to capture the camp several times but Imperial forces had always taken it back.[2] Around the same time, a spacer managed to infiltrate the Imperial Encampment and stole a piece of stormtrooper armor.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The Imperial Encampment was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[6] Players who visited the encampment were awarded with an exploration badge.[1] With the release of the "Publish 1" update on August 3, 2003,[7] the Imperial Encampment was turned into a "Factional NPC Base". Groups of Rebel players could attack Imperial NPCs and achieve several objectives to take control of the base.[2]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
