Waypoint Station Aurek, a military installation of the Galactic Republic, was constructed on the planet Taris in the era of the Cold War. It functioned as a protected location for both military troops and medical staff while Taris underwent rebuilding. Subsequently, the tower command station was established at the base after it was seized by the reconstituted Sith Empire.
Overseeing Waypoint Station Aurek was Commander Viqui, who was in charge of the Republic's scouts, riflemen, and officers present. The security operations for the station were headed by Captain Childress. Doctor Ianna Cel, along with her medical team, was stationed at Aurek, as were Cera and Garthe.
