Fire (city)

Fire was an artificial space trade city in the Aakaash system, orbiting the planets Land and Wind with an orbit shaped like the number "8." The city served as an important link between Land, the Aakaash system's political center, and Wind, the system's economic center. A humble space station in its earliest days, Fire grew into a massive structure with a permanent population numbering in the millions after two thousand years of expansion. Most of the Aakaash system's small alien population, including species such as Anacondans and Mon Calamari, could be found on the space station city alongside a large populace of humans. Around 200 BBY President Chen Yao was in charge of the station's trade city.

In 200 BBY, towards the end of the High Republic Era, the Silver Knights brought a shipment of enigmatic tenebrae to Fire from Land, intending to transport it to Wind to be used to supply the new biological water-purifying equipment there. However, with the assistance of Fire's station manager, Zhang Jincheng, the enigmatic tenebrae was stolen by the Jade Rats, a group of thieves who have been stealing from Fire in the past few months, and later sold to the Blue Dragon, the most powerful pirate gang in the system. Intent on reclaiming their property, the Knights' pursuit of the enigmatic tenebrae brought their elite red apricot squad to Fire, where the squad attacked the Jade Rats and took a tracking device leading to the Blue Dragon in the nearby Lake asteroid field. While the Knights were manipulated into attacking the Blue Dragon by Zhang Jincheng, who sought to become the president of Fire by ridding the Aakaash system of the Blue Dragon, red apricot team decided to continue with their mission after the enigmatic tenebrae before placing the blame of the recent misfortunes surrounding Fire on Zhang.
