The unit known as Hive command functioned as a command structure within the Tarkin Initiative. Its responsibility was to supervise activities occurring at Hivebase-1. This location was a secret research and development space station belonging to the Tarkin Initiative, defended by a swarm of scaraphyte creatures. During the year 0 BBY, the Son-tuul Pride attempted to gain access to the space station by offering to exchange general Hera Syndulla of the Rebel Alliance. Their true intention was to pilfer the memory banks of the droid 0-0-0. However, Commander Yewl successfully apprehended the mercenary group before their objective could be realized.
