Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A listening array belonging to the Trade Federation on the moon Alaris Prime was attacked by Wookiee colonists led by Chewbacca and Shoran. The attack occurred during the war for control of Alaris Prime between 39 BBY and 36 BBY, during which the Trade Federation established the listening array to spy on the Wookiees. The array's commander, LUH-989, had launched an unsuccessful attack on Chewbacca's camp, after which Shoran's scouts found the listening array. Chewbacca and Shoran combined their forces in the attack, destroying the listening array's transmitters and the defending battle droids.
