Vorknkx Project Base


Vorknkx Project Base functioned as the main research facility for the project sharing its name. The Corellian corvette, known as the Vorknkx, was stationed there.

History

The Vorknkx Project Base served as the central research hub for the project of the same designation. It was made up of two XQ5 Platforms, designated V1 and V2, along with a collection of Probes designed to record data during the project's demonstrations. The project's primary objective was the development of a cloaking device of sufficiently small size to render Imperial starfighters undetectable. While the prospects for success were slim, the potential payoff of such a breakthrough justified the risk. Given the potential widespread implications of such an advancement, only Palpatine, Grand Admiral Zaarin, and the project's personnel were privy to its existence.

When Zaarin turned against Palpatine and initiated his insurrection against the Empire, he sought every possible technological edge, and the Vorknkx project was among his targets. He dispatched the Nebulon-B2 frigate Z-Borus to seize the base. Although Tan Maarek Stele successfully repelled the attack using a Missile Boat, the base's security was compromised, prompting its evacuation under a subsequent assault by Zaarin's forces. The testbed and the research team were then transferred to To-phalion Base, a depleted Asteroid facility, where the project was able to continue until Zaarin pilfered the testbed from the base.
