The mobile shipyard called the Tambor Deep Space Centre, often shortened to Tambor Station, was a creation of the Geonosians. They utilized it as a workshop to mend and service various starships.
During the era of the Clone Wars, this station played a vital role in keeping the massive fleets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems operational. The Geonosian mechanic, Gorgol the Handy, oversaw its functions. To counter this strategic asset of General Grievous, the Galactic Republic deployed a task force led by Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi, accompanied by clone trooper soldiers, with the mission to obliterate the deep space center. The Republic team successfully infiltrated the station but was met with an ambush by numerous battle droids. Gorgol the Handy had secured himself within a fortified security bunker. The Republic's direct attack on the bunker, employing an All Terrain Recon Transport, was unsuccessful due to the station's defensive turrets. To draw Gorgol out of his hiding place, the Republic forces feigned a withdrawal, leaving only a lone sniper behind. After his battle droid scouts confirmed the Republic's apparent departure, Gorgol emerged from his bunker, only to be confronted by the two Jedi Masters. As he attempted to activate the defense turrets once more, the sniper eliminated his remote detonator, enabling the Jedi to apprehend the Geonosian and seize control of the station.
