The outpost was little more than a small, enclosed settlement. However, unlike the Yavin 4 Mining Outpost, it had a sturdier perimeter and a large watch tower. It also had its own cantina, medical center, and spaceport.
This outpost was established by the Galactic Empire after capturing Yavin 4 from the Rebel Alliance in 0 ABY. The outpost was popular among smugglers, who operated out of it frequently.
Some notable residents of the outpost during this time included Lieutenant Colonel Aqzow, Major Eker, and Wuioe Opca.
The Labor Outpost is one of three small outposts on Yavin 4 in the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies that has its own spaceport. The other two settlements that have a spaceport in the game are the Mining Outpost and the Imperial Fortress.
