The Galactic Empire apparently maintained a large presence in the Vilonis sector, and it was the location of the star system of the planet Nomlis III, where the Galactic Empire's Bretie Facility based its production center for the TIE Experimental Project. Prototype starfighters from the facility preyed upon commercial shipping in the Belat system, one of many sites where TIE Experimentals were tested through raids on civilian shipping until the Rebel Mon Calamari Cruiser Liberty destroyed the Imperial project base.
