Crucival transmitter tower

A transmitter tower was used by the Galactic Empire on the planet Crucival to communicate with other worlds. Protected by stormtroopers, probe droids, and TIE/ln space superiority starfighters, the tower could activate its own deflector shield dome as well. While the Imperials rarely left their base, TIE fighters patrolled the surrounding area. In 1 BBY, the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry went to attack the transmitter tower, with the Empire's forces there enlisting Crucival residents to help protect the structure. Many of the new recruits were killed, and most of the Imperial forces hid behind the tower's shield dome. After five days of fighting, the tower was destroyed.
