ARIES's operational headquarters, situated in the southern part of the artificial world of Iokath, was known as ARIES base. This base served as the central hub for ARIES, the sole self-aware droid on Iokath. Its proximity to a powerful superweapon, capable of incapacitating or eliminating organic beings across vast distances, was notable. In 3630 BBY, Iokath experienced a significant influx of new arrivals when SCORPIO, an Iokath creation whose memories of her origins had been erased, successfully rediscovered her origins, along with the Gravestone and the Eternal Fleet, subsequently directing all of these vessels towards Iokath. As these vessels drew near and penetrated Iokath's atmosphere, ARIES activated the superweapon, unleashing a radiant burst of energy that rendered all organics aboard the ships unconscious. He then strategically positioned them across Iokath's terrain for testing in diverse combat simulations. Ultimately, SCORPIO was able to use ARIES's numerous holo-transmissions to identify his base's location, which she then communicated to the Alliance forces. The Alliance Commander and Vette launched an assault on the base, ultimately facing ARIES, even as the Eternal Fleet bombarded his base and the superweapon continued its charging sequence. In the end, as ARIES feigned surrender and attempted to betray the Alliance Commander, SCORPIO intervened, fatally shooting him from behind and ensuring his permanent destruction.
