Unidentified Wookiee base (fortress)

A base was built by Wookiee colonists on the moon Alaris Prime between 39 and 36 BBY. It was constructed south of a base belonging to the Trade Federation, an organization the Wookiees were at war with. The buildings inside the base were constructed and used by Wookiee workers, while parts of its outer walls were constructed by the Wookiee Shoran. At the base, the leader of the colonists, Chewbacca, planned an assault on the Trade Federation base, intending to drive them from Alaris Prime.

The sentry posts constructed around the base were attacked by battle droids on the orders of Trade Federation commander SRAM-13. A fortress was built in the base at the request of the Jedi Council to allow the Wookiee's Jedi advisor, Qui-Gon Jinn, to land at the base and participate in the battle. The base was also scouted by light droid starfighters sent by SRAM-13, and the Wookiees at the base later assembled an army with which they successfully attacked the Trade Federation base.
