Glid Station, a military installation, was created by the Galactic Republic on Orto Plutonia, a planet, during the initial period of the Clone Wars. This establishment was prompted by a request from the Pantoran Assembly, the governing body of Pantora, a neighboring moon. A skirmish occurred in 22 BBY when a concealed Separatist outpost in the vicinity provoked the indigenous Talz population. The clone troopers stationed at Glid Station were caught in this conflict and ultimately dying. Consequently, the Republic Military along with the Pantorans dispatched investigative units due to the communication breakdown, and discovered the presence of the Talz.
