Hemlock's personal workspace served as the official office for Royce Hemlock, the Chief Scientist heading up the Advanced Science Division located within Tantiss Base on the planetary surface of Wayland. The office's design was minimalist, featuring only essential furnishings: a desk, three chairs, and a pair of pillars positioned in the room's corners. During 18 BBY, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin initiated contact with Hemlock through a holographic transmission in this very office, specifically to discuss the financial resources allocated to his Division.
