Saarn, a world of expansive green grasslands, existed as a secluded and concealed planet situated within the Outer Rim Territories.
The Alliance to Restore the Republic utilized Saarn as a location for conducting military exercises. Subsequently, it functioned as a distant monitoring station for the New Republic.
During the initial phase of the Thrawn campaign, Saarn experienced an attack. The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, known as the Stormhawk, carried out a swift strike on Saarn, resulting in the elimination of New Republic staff. To safeguard the maneuvers of the Imperial Navy, Grand Admiral Thrawn's troops established an eavesdropping station on the planet.
