Avatar Orbital Platform The Avatar Orbital Platform was a joint venture between the Empire and a group of Trandoshan slavers called the Blackscale Clan , built to aid in the transportation and sale of Wookiee slaves captured on nearby Kashyyyk and the moon of Alaris Prime . Description . " Avatar Orbital Platform " was a space station which acted as a slave hub . It was constructed by the Galactic Empire and Trandoshan slave groups . The platform was built for anything but appearances , and it was crude , but functional , and was equipped with sufficient defenses to keep Rebels from interfering with the Imperial slave trade . As of 4 ABY , it was configured in a square , with the main reactor in the middle . Four airbase s provided transports on and off the station . Military buildings protected the reactor . At one corner , there was an Imperial Fortress ; the corner diagonal to it held a slave pen protected by four laser turrets . A complement of stormtroopers and TIE fighters was also aboard . History . " Avatar " was frequently the last stop for a family before they were separated for shipment to their new masters . The slaver Pekt was instrumental in designing the station . During the Galactic Civil War the only way to obtain clearance codes to land on the platform was from the Blackscale clan . However both the Zssik Clan of Trandoshan slavers and Imperial scientists on the planet Kashyyyk managed to acquire the codes to sent operatives aboard the station . In 1 ABY , Wookiee freedom fighters attacked the Avatar Platform to stop the Trandoshan slaving operations . During these fights , a group of spacers working for the Zssik Clan entered the station to disrupt the Blackscale ' s slaving operations . After battling the Blackscale forces aboard the station , the spacers activated the station ' s self destruct sequence and returned to Kashyyyk . The station was rocked by large explosions that caused much damage and killed most beings on the platform , but overall the station remained intact and quite functional . It didn ' t take long before both the Blackscale clan and Wookiee freedom fighters sent reinforcements to the station to continue the fight for the control over the Avatar Platform . During the Liberation of Kashyyyk in 4 ABY , Moff Hindane Darcc and Pekt were pursued by Han Solo and Chewbacca . When their Palace was destroyed , Darcc and Pekt retreated to " Avatar " but were followed by their pursuers . Solo had already sent a message to the New Republic and as soon as they arrived on " Avatar " , they were joined by Lando Calrissian on the " Millennium Falcon " and Rogue Squadron with Luke Skywalker . After a brief battle , the Rebels destroyed the airbases to prevent the Darcc and Pekt from escaping , rescued Attichitcuk who was enslaved with other Wookiees , and finally brought justice to Darcc and Pekt . Finally , the Rebels destroyed the Main Reactor , destabilizing the Platform and causing it to crash onto Kashyyyk . Behind the scenes . The " Avatar Orbital Platform " was first mentioned in the for the 2001 video game " . " The station appeared in the game ' s Chewbacca campaign . The station appeared again in 2005 ' s " " , the second expansion of " Star Wars Galaxies " . In both games , the station is destroyed by the player ' s actions . However after the station ' s destruction in " Rage of the Wookiees " — which takes place several years before the events of the Chewbacca campaign in " Galactic Battlegrounds " — the NPC Marium Valmont explains that the station wasn ' t fully destroyed and remained " quite functional " . In " Galactic Battlegrounds " , Avatar is an open , flat series of wide walled platforms . This is due to the limitations of the game , which does not support fighting in covered buildings or starships . The player has 10 minutes in the beginning of the mission to destroy the airbases , and is then tasked with rescuing the Wookiee prisoners , destroying the Fortress , and and killing Darcc and Pekt . After destroying the reactor , the Wookiee units escape in a scripted event .
