Obus VI, a water-covered planetoid, existed within the previously unexplored Wild Space section of the galaxy before the Eternal Empire conquest. The Shroud selected it due to its nearness to Zakuul as the site for his new, multifaceted operational hub, known as the Coil. Once built, the base featured an underwater component, a subterranean level below that, and a space elevator connecting the installation to an asteroid base. The most powerful scrambling field available for purchase with credits shielded Obus VI. This field stopped all unapproved communications, making the whole planetoid impossible to detect. The entire complex was destroyed in 3630 BBY when the assassin droid HK-55 managed to get away from the base.
