The Maze, a clandestine training area, served as a facility for the Alliance to Restore the Republic to acclimate their newly recruited pilots to the operation of Rebel starfighters. Operating from an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate that frequently changed its position, the training demanded that pilots navigate a sequence of checkpoints and engage targets, all within a specified timeframe. The training regimen incorporated holographic systems to replicate damage scenarios for both the starfighters and the pilots, and it provided opportunities to experience different starfighter models, such as the X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, and B-wing. On his initial attempt within the Maze, the Rebel pilot Dev inadvertently initiated a hyperspace jump, leading him to an Imperial training zone located in the Senex system.
