The Carbon Ridge existed on Jakku, a planet of desert landscapes. The Galactic Empire secretly possessed a research facility situated on this ridge. In the course of the Battle of Jakku, the New Republic became aware of this base and launched an offensive. An Imperial II-class Star Destroyer that had crashed tried to dispatch TIE bomber reinforcements to aid the Imperial forces present; however, Iden Versio and Shriv Suurgav eliminated what was left of the ship. A CR90 corvette, one led by Captain Lindsey, was downed as it approached Carbon Ridge.
