Research was an XQ6 Platform located in the Parmel system, and under Imperial dominion during the Galactic Civil War. It was there that Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin conducted, among other types, TIE starfighter research. TIE Defender prototypes began their journey to the Emperor from Platform Research during the Arms Race prior to Admiral Zaarin's treason as part of the Zaarin insurrection against the Galactic Empire around 3 ABY. It was defended by the frigate Thunderer.
