A Human male , the officer enlisted into the New Republic Army sometime by 10 ABY , and was stationed on a New Republic base located on the Outer Rim planet of Altyr V . The officer commonly worked with the base ' s commander , and worked primarily in the base ' s center of operations , generally known as Ops . The officer worked on computer terminals , and stayed in contact with a long range outpost on Delta 3 . During the campaign of the reborn Emperor Palpatine in 10 ABY , two Imperial orbital ion cannons , disguised as asteroids , were dispatched to Altyr V in order to hold down the New Republic base and keep the base ' s personnel from escaping as a larger Imperial fleet made it ' s way to Altyr V . The fleet happened to pass by Delta 3 , however , and the listening post notified the officer of the incoming attack , suggesting that there was a three hour window in which to escape the planet in .
