"The guards at the small base all had armbands with a red circle on them."
Lieutenant Cope, to a spacer[1]

The Red Circle Base, also known as the Red Circle Bunker, was a bunker located on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. It was one of the main bases of the Chirq Council.

History[]

"We have a lead concerning that red circle symbol that has been connected to these crimes. While trailing a suspect, a CorSec agent saw his suspect converse with another man and then go with him to a small base outside of town."
―Lieutenant Cope, to a spacer[1]

The Red Circle Base was located in the Vella plains, near the city of Kor Vella. After the Battle of Yavin, the base served as the headquarters of the Kor Vella chapter of the Chirq Council, also known as the Red Circle Gang. The three leaders of this Chirq Council chapter, Vora Anjek, Annor Fash and Vella Corse, were based in the bunker.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Corellian Security Force started an investigation against the Red Circle Gang following the increase of spice traffic in Kor Vella. A spacer working for Lieutenant Cope discovered the existence of the ryll smuggling ring of the Red Circle Gang and the location of the Ryll Smuggler Base.[3] After the assassination of the mayor of Kor Vella Deel Draav by the Red Circle Gang, the CorSec raided the Ryll Smuggler Base. The spacer eliminated the underboss Ubis Reendorr and retrieved his access code for the Red Circle Base. The CorSec later assaulted the Red Circle Base nearby and killed most of the guards. The spacer used Reendorr's access code to slice the mainframe in the courtyard of the base and learned the identity of the three local Chirq Council leaders: Vora Anjek, Annor Fash and Vella Corse. The CorSec therefore attacked the basement of the Red Circle Base and killed the three leaders. During the assault, the spacer also discovered that the leaders of the Chirq Council were based in the city Doaba Guerfel.[1] The CorSec investigation eventually led to the disbandment of the Chirq Council.[4]

Behind the scenes[]

The Red Circle Base appeared 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.[5] The Red Circle Base was added to the game with the update named "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," published on June 8, 2006.[6]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "CorSec Case Files: The Unlucky Mayor" on Corellia
  2. 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.
