BloodScar base was originally a mining facility situated on the planet of Gepparin. It was repurposed to serve as the central hub for the BloodScars, a pirate group. The base's destruction occurred in 0.5 ABY when the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, named Reprisal, executed a bombing run on the facility. The objective was to eliminate Mara Jade, an Imperial agent who had successfully infiltrated the pirate ranks.
The pirate organization, BloodScar, established their base within a pre-existing mining complex found on the planet Gepparin. This served as their operational center for approximately two years, up until 0.5 ABY. To mask the pirate vessels entering and exiting the base, the pirates maintained partial functionality of the mining operation. Laser cannons provided defense for the base. What was once a preparation room for miners was transformed into a reception area. New arrivals were subjected to searches using scanners, and wall restraints were available for detention if necessary.
The pirate base typically housed a crew of around thirty individuals, including the Commodore, who was the leader of the BloodScar pirates.
