Tantiss Base

Tantiss Base, also identified as the Wayland facility, was a clandestine scientific complex under the Galactic Empire, built within Mount Tantiss on the planet Wayland in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. Details of the facility operations were classified and its extant coordinates remained hidden.

After an incident on Setron during the early Imperial Era, Doctor Royce Hemlock and the Advanced Science Division relocated to Tantiss Base and began development on Project Necromancer, a secret biological research project that involved M-count transfer. Tantiss Base also maintained other top secret research and programs.

In the aftermath of a raid by Clone Force 99 which resulted in Hemlock's death, a Zillo Beast containment breach, and the subsequent uprising of the facility's clone prisoners, Tantiss Base sustained heavy damage with all research inside being destroyed. Governor Wilhuff Tarkin later ordered Captain Bragg to have the facility be closed indefinitely and redistributed its funds to Project Stardust.
