Landing platform IIB8

Landing platform IIB8 was a landing platform in use on the planet Druckenwell during the Clone Wars, a tumultuous conflict between the Galactic Republic and the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around 21 BBY, the freighter First Light was captured by the pirate group the Brotherhood en-route to Druckenwell while hauling a cargo of explosives and was taken by the pirates to landing platform IIB8. A group of Separatist sympathizers allied with the pirates schemed to crash the explosive-laden freighter into the Republic military installation New Dawn and readied the vessel for the attack. However, group of freelance agents investigating the plot obtained the location of the landing platform from the Besalisk infochant Fenix and arrived at the platform just as the First Light was taking off. The agents subsequently stowed away aboard the ship and thwarted the attack.
