A Comfort Unit served as a sanctuary and tavern, providing inexpensive regional drinks, and was set up by the Imperial garrison located on the planet Aldhani. By the year 5 BBY, a number of these Comfort Units had been strategically positioned along the route taken by the native Dhani pilgrims as they made their way from the planet's Lowlands to observe the astronomical phenomenon known as the Eye of Aldhani. The purpose of these Comfort Units was to delay the Dhani people and diminish the number of attendees at the Eye, because their celebratory practices surrounding it were seen as an impediment to the Empire's ambitions for growth.
