Gepparin, a planetary body located within the Gepparin system found in the Shelsha sector, served as the central base of operations for the BloodScar pirate organization. This group had seized control of the planet's extensive mining facility during the era of the Galactic Civil War, even though smaller agricultural settlements on the planet remained independent. In 0.5 ABY, the Galactic Empire launched an attack on the base, resulting in its total annihilation; the planet was a planet and the base was also known as headquarters.
