The Easthills region was situated in close proximity to the Capital City of Lothal. In the era of the Galactic Empire, the Academy for Young Imperials utilized this area as a site for various training sessions and early morning routines. It was during one of these training exercises in the Easthills that Zare Leonis's elder sibling, Dhara Leonis, vanished. Subsequently, Zare, along with his fellow trainees, participated in a number of practical exercises and navigated through obstacle courses located within the Easthills. At a later point in time, BlasTech Industries established a research facility within the Easthills area.
