Brintooin

Brintooin was an Outer Rim Territories planet located in the Seswenna sector. The planet's terrain included plains, marshes, and deserts, as well as scrub and woodlands. By the time of the Battle of Turak IV between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance, Brintooin was selected as the baseworld for the Imperial Hammers Elite Armor Unit and was populated by Humans fiercely loyal to the Empire.

Following the heavy losses suffered by the Hammers during the Battle of Turak IV, the regiment's commanding officer, Colonel Zel Johans, arranged for the unit to be recalled to Brintooin for rebuilding. Johans organized extensive changes to his regiment, including an influx of new recruits and technological upgrades, all of which helped increase the size and strength of the unit and made Brintooin a center for armored warfare training.

When the Empire began to splinter in the wake of the Battle of Endor, Johans eventually withdrew the Hammers and any affiliated forces to Brintooin, not wanting to participate in the fighting between the various Imperial warlords. Over time, the colonel's forces on Brintooin became increasingly isolated from the larger galactic conflict due to the lack of efficient and independent transportation for their combat vehicles.
