During the conflict known as the Galactic Civil War, which pitted the Galactic Empire against the New Republic, the Empire held dominion over a shipyard situated at Anadeen. The New Republic engaged in combat to seize control of this shipyard in the year 5 ABY.
The initial reference to the Anadeen shipyard appeared in the 2016 novel Aftermath: Life Debt. This novel constitutes the second book in the Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy authored by Chuck Wendig.
