Legend

this ball of rock and ore was the ninth moon in orbit around the planet Ebaq, located in the galaxy's Deep Core. The Empire once allowed the Deep Core Mining Corporation to establish bronzium refineries on the moon, while maintaining a minimal base as an emergency resupply point. After the dead of Emperor Palpatine, the base on Ebaq 9 was abandoned. Years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Admiral Ackbar of the New Republic discovered Ebaq 9's location, and developed a plan that could draw in the Yuuzhan Vong and trap them along the dead-end hyperspace lane that led to Ebaq. It required that the Republic establish a base of operations on the moon as bait for the trap, which was the centerpiece of the Battle of Ebaq.
