Outpost 327, alternatively called Imperial Colony Outpost 327, was a facility of the Golan Space Colony 2 type. Situated within the Zhar system, it seemed to function as a cargo storage and transfer point. Typically, the outpost was surrounded by various cargo containers and freighters, and it also offered docking services for transports and shuttles. The outpost possessed significant defenses; records from 4 ABY indicate it was protected by a TIE/LN starfighter squadron, two TIE/IN interceptor squadrons, and a TIE/sa bomber squadron, alongside the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer named Inexorable. It remained uncertain, however, if these forces were permanently assigned to the station or part of the Judicator's own starfighter complement.

At the time, several Lambda-class T-4a shuttles, specifically the Tydirium, Deuterium, Illudium, Iridium, Mercurium, Uranium, Viridium and Xiridium were also present at the outpost, docked until the Tydirium was commandeered by Rebel Alliance pilot Ace Azzameen.
Years following the release of X-Wing Alliance, the fictional ore tydirium was referenced in Kyle Katarn's Tale, thereby establishing a connection between the shuttle Tydirium and the ore of the same name.
