Qeimet system

The Qeimet system was a Juris sector star system lying on the Outer Rim Territories' Five Veils Route. It served as headquarters for the Galactic Republic's Sarin Oversector during the Clone Wars. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the system shared its name with the Imperial Qeimet fleet, which fought against Rebel Alliance forces in the Hook Nebula. Qeimet was also the site where several scandocs were accidentally leaked to the media, resulting in the name of the Ubiqtorate, the governing body of Imperial Intelligence, becoming public knowledge.

In 3 ABY, the Imperial Death Squadron was rendezvousing in the Qeimet system when Captain Firmus Piett of the Star Dreadnought Executor informed his superior, Admiral Kendal Ozzel, of the findings of an Imperial probe droid in the supposedly uninhabited Hoth system. Piett argued that the probe's discovery indicated the presence of a hidden Rebel base, but Ozzel dismissed the captain's reports. However, the admiral's objections were overruled by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, who was confident that they had indeed found the Rebel base and promptly ordered the fleet to travel to the Hoth system.
