Location of the Iast System.


------------

Iast System
The possible location of To-phalion Base and the top-secret Vorknkx Project, where the Empire developed an experimental cloaking device after the Battle of Hoth.

Gap IX
The backwater swampworld of Gap Nine is home to a reptilian alien species and an Imperial fuel ore- processing plant. Many years ago, an unknown group came to Gap Nine and built temples dedicated to evil. When a force of Jedi Knights arrived, they defeated the group and transformed their temples into storehouses of knowledge. Recently, the Imperials on Gap Nine have been robbing these temples of their priceless artifacts.

To-phalion Base
To-phalion Base, in the Iast system, was a secret Imperial research facility built into the hollowed- out interior of a large asteroid. Formerly used as a mining operation, the asteroid later housed a hangar bay and laboratories for the Vorknkx Project, which developed an experimental cloaking device following the Battle of Hoth. The base was surrounded by eight smaller asteroids-- four with anti-warhead defense batteries and four with turbolasers. Just prior to the Battle of Endor, the renegade Admiral Zaarin attacked To-phalion and Grand Admiral Thrawn was dispatched to stop him. Zaarin succeeded in stealing the corvette Vorknkx, containing the prototype cloak, and escaping into the Unknown Regions, though he was tracked and soon eliminated by Thrawn.
