Camp Forward, also known as Imperial Forward Field Operations, functioned as a short-term command center for the Galactic Empire's military units. It was situated far into the contested wilderness area of Mimban, a planet characterized by its swamp terrain, where the Mimbanese Liberation Army put up the fiercest resistance during the Mimban Campaign. Camp Forward served as a launch point for military assistance, including AT-DTs, TIE fighters, and AT-haulers. The base included amenities such as an airfield, mobile surgical units, and numerous tent encampments.
