Allanteen VI

"Enclosed are the topline findings of agents operating in or near the following Imperial shipyards: Corellia, Kuat, Ringo Vinda, Allanteen VI, and Fondor."

―Airen Cracken, to Mon Mothma, in an official document^[3]

Allanteen VI was an astronomical object located in the Expansion Region, on the Corellian Run and the Shipwrights' Trace hyperspace routes. It was the site of a shipyard that was a major producer of the Galactic Empire's starships. Rebel agents based around Allanteen VI reported to General Airen Cracken of the Rebel Alliance on the shipyard's production. General Crix Madine considered the shipyard a potential target for a rebel campaign if another campaign, Operation Ringbreaker, was successful.

Description[]

Allanteen VI,^[3] also referred to simply as Allanteen, was an astronomical object situated in the Expansion Region, within grid square O-14 of the Standard Galactic Grid. It was located on the Corellian Run^[1] super-hyperroute^[4] between the celestial bodies Rhommamool and Gamor,^[1] and also on the hyperspace route known as the Shipwrights' Trace,^[2] which connected it to^[1] the planet^[5] Tynna and ultimately the astronomical body Foless.^[1]

History[]

"With Operation Ringbreaker meeting with early success, I feel our current angle of attack could provide a broader path to victory. This map notates the locations of other major Imperial shipyards and drydocks, as well as key mining centers for metals and ores. Once we take out Kuat, these should be our next targets."

―Crix Madine, to Mon Mothma, in an official document^[3]

Allanteen-TRF — Allanteen VI was the site of a major Imperial shipyard.

During the time of the Galactic Empire, Allanteen VI was the site of a shipyard that became a major production source of Imperial starships. General Airen Cracken of the then-unofficial Rebellion's Intelligence branch had a number of agents operating around Allanteen and other Imperial shipyard hubs including Corellia, Fondor, Kuat, and Ringo Vinda. Through those agents, he gathered information on the Imperial Navy's Star Destroyers and patrol vessels and detailed them in an official document addressed to the Rebellion's leader, Mon Mothma, that cited Allanteen VI as part of the investigations.^[3]

In 3 ABY,^[6] the since-officialized Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry led a campaign named Operation Ringbreaker against a number of minor Imperial resource hubs, with the Kuat Drive Yards, the Empire's primary source of Star Destroyer production and servicing, being the final target.^[7] The Alliance Intelligence vetted the campaign from afar, and General Crix Madine, inspired by its early success, made a galactic map of major Imperial shipyards, drydocks, and mining centers that could be targeted if Kuat Drive Yards was successfully sabotaged, attaching it to another official document sent to Mothma. Allanteen VI was included on the map, labeled as having a low production rate and security level. Operation Ringbreaker, however, was ultimately cut short. Archivist Hendri Underholt eventually added both documents mentioning Allanteen VI to a compilation of non-electronic documents called The Rebel Files.^[3] In 34 ABY,^[8] Allanteen's position was displayed in a partial map of the galaxy on several screens aboard Chandrila Star Line's Star Cruiser Halcyon.^[9]

Behind the scenes[]

In the current Star Wars canon, Allanteen VI was first mentioned on a map included in the fifty-second issue of De Agostini's magazine series Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon,^[10] published around December 30, 2015.^[11] The map only used the shorter designation "Allanteen."^[10] The celestial body was then given its full name in the 2017 reference book and boxed set Star Wars: The Rebel Files, written by Daniel Wallace.^[3] Its first in-universe appearance came in the form of a map depiction viewable in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive roleplaying experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida^[9] that was opened to the public on March 1, 2022.^[12]

The planet Allanteen VI originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in The Clone Wars: Wild Space, the second installment of a series of novels that tied into the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Wild Space was written by Karen Miller^[13] and was published on December 9 that same year.^[14]
