"Commander, that downed Star Destroyer is deploying bomber reinforcements to an Imperial research facility at Carbon Ridge."
"That facility is a key target for the Republic. Iden, we could cut off those bombers from inside the hangar."

The Imperial research base was a facility^[1] located in Carbon Ridge^[2] on the planet Jakku. The base was operated by the Galactic Empire before and during the Battle of Jakku. The Empire's final goal during the battle was to prevent the New Republic fleet from reaching the base. Before retreating into the Unknown Regions, the remaining Imperial forces destroyed the facility.^[1] During the battle, All Terrain Armored Transports of the Hellhound attack force were deployed from the Star Destroyer Interrogator in a last ditched defense of the base.^[3] In the decades after the Battle of Jakku, only unverified stories remained of the facility which circulated upon the residents of the planet. The mysterious faction known as the Dead-enders were popularly believed to still be guarding the facility.^[2]
