Junker systems

The junker systems was a group of star systems that included the Expansion Region planet Jarbanov. The systems were home to a scrapping guild and the Jarbanov Orbital Sorting Association. In 4 ABY, the scrapping guild acquired two Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire and began bulk hiring mechanics to help salvage them; a mechanic named Soran Keize mentioned the opportunity to his colleague Agias Rikton on the space station Whitedrift Exchange.

Keize eventually became commander of the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, a unit he had deserted prior to his time as a mechanic. In 5 ABY, he launched an operation at Jarbanov, wherein one of the 204th's squadrons attacked the Jarbanov colony while the Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier Aerie acquired TIE/ln space superiority starfighter wreckage. All of the fighter wing's forces fled Jarbanov afterward.
