The Dantooine Power Station, alternatively named the Banir Regional Energy Complex, existed on Dantooine in 3627 BBY, and its purpose was to generate power for surrounding communities.
This sophisticated facility harnessed both wind and water power, enabling it to generate the substantial energy quantities required by the Galactic Republic's large-scale agricultural projects.
After the Eternal Empire's defeat, the Galactic Republic focused once more on Dantooine, resulting in significant funding being directed towards the planet's pre-existing infrastructure. Republic engineers transformed the dilapidated dam located near Tokare Garrison into an advanced energy production center.
Although the Republic's renewed attention brought advantages to the planet's inhabitants—including enhanced fortifications, improved infrastructure, and an economic revitalization—certain traditionalist Dantooinians criticized the swift changes and cautioned their fellow citizens against becoming overly dependent on the Republic's aid.
During the Dantooine Incursion, Yarvok, a pirate belonging to the Nova Blades, seized control of the power station and demanded a ransom of 15 million credits in exchange for the reactor's release.
The Banir Regional Energy Complex appears in the Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Eternal Throne update titled "The Dantooine Incursion". While the complex is referred to as the Dantooine Power Station within the game, its codex entry identifies it as the Banir Regional Energy Complex.
