The largest satellite orbiting the planet Tifnyl possessed a sparse atmosphere and a basic ecological system. In the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire had constructed an listening post on this moon. This station was operated by a team of ten technicians along with ten Imperial Navy troopers, and received provisions monthly from a Star Destroyer. The strategic importance of this outpost was minimal; it was created by Moff Villis Andal as a scheme to divert extra funds from public resources to his allocated region.
