- "Do you know everyone here?"
"Of course. We're all like family." - ―Wrecker and Shep Hazard
Pabu was a remote island located on the tropical planet Pabu. It was led by its mayor, Shep Hazard, and its inhabitants were mostly refugees from the Clone Wars. Although it had limited resources, Pabu provided a friendly atmosphere for refugees that was free of the presence of the Galactic Empire. Phee Genoa regarded it as her "home away from home."[1]
The island experienced sea surges on occasion. As such, a large wall was built around Upper Pabu to protect it. However, after years, Pabu expanded into Lower Pabu as more inhabitants arrived.[1]
Upper Pabu featured the Archium, which stored rescued artifacts from around the galaxy. It also housed the early warning system, which was used to alert the residents of a sea surge. Just outside the Archium was a large landing pad at the very top of the island.[1]
By around 18 BBY,[4] there had not been a major sea surge in almost thirty years. However, that year, the island experienced a series of tremors, which led to a large surge. The surge damaged most of Lower Pabu; however, all of the residents escaped to the safety of Upper Pabu with the help of Clone Force 99.[1]
Although Pabu was remote, Clone Force 99 was discovered there on multiple occasions.[3][5] The Force-Sensitive Outcast Asajj Ventress found them there, wanting to test Omega's ability to connect with the Force.[3] Later, the clone assassin CX-2 tracked the clones to Pabu after stealing data from the Genoa's starship, the Providence. An Imperial division soon arrived to capture Omega, and, after laying waste to parts of the island community, captured the young clone and departed.[5]

- ↑ Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
