The Second Elite Council Bunker was a bunker located on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. It served as the headquarters of the Chirq Council.
History[]
After the Battle of Yavin, the Second Elite Council Bunker was one of the two bunkers that served as headquarters of the Chirq Council, along with the First Elite Council Bunker. They were both located in isolated areas near the city of Doaba Guerfel and heavily defended. Five of the nine Chirq Council elite councilors were based in the Second Elite Council Bunker, Markus Gilder, Braganti Hooge, Koran Lassk, Janos Zarbo and Zuld Mar-Shayal, while the four others were based in the First Elite Council Bunker.[1] Two Chirq Council sub-councilors, Dain Pax and Tettsel Anker, were also based in the building.[2] The Second Elite Council Bunker was also used for the development of experimental heavy weapons,[3] as well as for the development of a new model of battle droids. Many of these Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians defended the building along with Chirq Council guards.[4]
In 1 ABY,[5] the Corellian Security Force started an investigation against the Chirq Council following the increase of ryll traffic on Corellia.[6] Captain Vitala Baize infiltrated a CorSec agent in Jzoro Quanera's Chirq Council cell in Doaba Guerfel. From Quanera's database, the CorSec obtained the identity of the nine elite councilors and the locations of their two secret headquarters.[7] The Corsec first raided the First Second Elite Council Bunker and killed half of the elite councilors. CorSec forces later assaulted the Second Elite Council Bunker and eliminated most of the guards of the buildings.[1] Following orders from Agents Chun Solso and Hurley Klakk, the CorSec agents also killed the Chirq Council sub-councilors Dain Pax and Tettsel Anker and destroyed the Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians during the raid.[4][2] They also destroyed the Chirq Council experimental heavy weapons as requested by the environmentalist Jaalib Rigel.[3] The CorSec eventually killed the second half of the elite councilors in the depths of the bunker. With the death of all the elite councilors during the CorSec assaults on the two Elite Council Bunkers, the Chirq Council splintered.[1]

- ↑ 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.
