Deepdocks, essentially shipyards, were utilized by different factions such as the Galactic Empire and also the First Order. Before the incident that occurred in the Obroa-skai system, Moff Wilhuff Tarkin alongside Darth Vader arranged for a CC-7700 frigate to be moved from a deepdock within the Corellia system in order to aid a military endeavor focused on reclaiming Tarkin's stolen ship, the Carrion Spike. This vessel had been seized by Berch Teller's rebel cell. Other significant Imperial deepdocks were the Imperial Navy Deepdock Facility Two, in addition to the R/M Facility Four deepdock, and also the Ryloth deepdock.
After a skirmish that took place above Megalox Beta with Black Squadron, a First Order technician who was in the process of repairing Agent Terex's vessel, the Carrion Spike, told his corporal that the ship was in need of a replacement central computer. This repair could only be performed at a deepdock.
