Research Outpost

The Research Outpost, also known as the Imperial Research Station, was a research outpost established on the Forest moon of Endor during the Galactic Civil War. It was built by the Galactic Empire along with the Endor Space Station that provided services to the outpost. Nevertheless, the Empire had almost no presence in the outpost, the area being patrolled by mercenaries. The Research Outpost was mainly used as a spaceport by spacers visiting the planet.

After the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Kilnstrider of the Imperial Storm Squadron was based at the Research Outpost. The collector Jener Mich also resided in the outpost. In 1 ABY, the Meatlumps, a gang of fanatical technology-hating criminals and terrorists from Corellia, placed a bomb in the Research Outpost. Fortunately, a spacer who had infiltrated the group discovered the plot and defused the bomb before it could explode. The same year, another spacer visited the outpost and collected knuckles of the katarn.
