Besh gate, a worn-out space station orbiting Zygerria, a planet situated within the Outer Rim Territories, was actively used during the Galactic Empire's era. The Zygerrian Thanda clan utilized it for their various business dealings. During this time, a specially selected team infiltrated Besh gate, posing as couriers involved in one of the ongoing transactions. They successfully subdued Atlee Thanda, the Thanda clan's representative, along with his accompanying guards.
Besh gate, a dilapidated space station orbiting the planet Zygerria within the Outer Rim Territories' Zygerria system, was in a state of disrepair by the time of the Galactic Empire. A potent and unpleasant odor permeated the facility, a consequence of both intense starship activity and the station's general neglect. An umbilical system allowed Besh gate to connect to various ships. The station's structure consisted of twelve docking bays arranged around a central core.
During the Imperial era, Brevis Taug, a wealthy shipping tycoon who was providing financial backing for the construction of a fleet of slave transport vessels for the Zygerrian Thanda clan, employed a specific financial route. He would transfer funds to a Hutt-controlled enterprise located on Junction. This company, in turn, would forward the money to Besh gate, where it was ultimately received by Atlee Thanda, a Thanda clan member and an aspiring slaver.
Eventually, a dedicated team was tasked with infiltrating the space station. They disguised themselves as couriers during one of the routine financial exchanges, with the ultimate goal of neutralizing Atlee Thanda. The team, traveling aboard the ship Skinchanger, successfully reached the station, observing several other vessels already docked. After the Skinchanger received clearance to dock, the team initiated their plan, infiltrating Thanda's ship, the Scourge, which was linked to Besh gate via an umbilical guarded by at least two Zygerrian sentries at its entrance. The team engaged Zygerrian guards led by Thanda's majordomo, Liskran Dulce, and ultimately succeeded in eliminating Thanda. The team was commended for their successful operation, and the Scourge's databanks proved to be a valuable source of intelligence regarding the operations of several other Zygerrian clans.
Besh gate first appeared in the 2003 mini-adventure titled Zygerrian Takedown, a supplement for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game published by Wizards of the Coast. Within the adventure, players have the option to either kill or capture Atlee Thanda, with the latter choice yielding a higher point reward. The mini-adventure incorrectly places the Chorlian sector, and consequently Besh gate, within the galaxy's Wild Space region. However, this information has since been retconned by 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, which indirectly referenced Besh gate in its entry for Zygerria, and 2009's The Essential Atlas.
