A secret headquarters for the criminal organization known as the Hidden Hand, along with its chief, Gwi, was established inside a fortified asteroid. This location was initially one of several concealed stations created in the midst of asteroid fields by the bounty hunter named Cavic, but the Hidden Hand found and transformed it. Following his employment by the Hidden Hand for a failed hunt targeting Darth Vader, the bounty hunter Beilert Valance ultimately guided the Empire to the base, resulting in the Hidden Hand's downfall.
