During the Mission to Panna Prime storyline, a Rebel Alliance installation was situated within an asteroid field.
While attempting to retrieve a certain Talisman for the Rebellion, Han Solo and Chewbacca almost collided with the base upon their return. This incident was caused by the sleeping virus with which the Galactic Empire had contaminated the talisman. Following this near-accident, Luke Skywalker and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 departed from the base in a BTL-S3 Y-wing starfighter to locate them.
The commanding officer of the base was General Ristt. Other personnel known to be present included Princess Leia Organa, several Rebel communications operators, and Captain Kazan. Kazan was in command of the Alliance cruiser, the RS Revenge, which was stationed at the base.
