Anoth Base Anoth Base was the secret New Republic facility established on Anoth as a location to safely raise the Solo children . Characteristics . While seemingly used only as a safehouse to raise the young children of Han and Leia Organa Solo , Anoth Base was much more . It was actually a fully functional and equipped military retreat capable of accommodating over one hundred pilots , soldiers , or dignitaries . It also had berthing capabilities for over a dozen transports . The main level contained the main hangar , Ops center , conference rooms , and living quarters , including barracks and suites . Additional levels held the mess hall , more barracks , laboratories , and rooms for entertainment , recreation and storage . The lowest level housed the generator and central computer core . The generator room was designed by Admiral Ackbar to appear high tech and eye - catching , but it was in fact a lethal trap for intruders who penetrated the base , and a last - ditch defensive point for the inhabitants . Anyone entering the room that was not authorized by the main computer would activate 12 concealed and camouflaged battle droids . These droids would subdue the intruders with lethal force . The base was also protected by a Foreign Intruder Defense Organism ( FIDO ) , a defensive combat droid designed by Admiral Ackbar himself . History . When Leia Organa Solo gave birth to twins , Jacen and Jaina , her brother realized the danger if any enemies of the New Republic were to kidnap her Force - sensitive children . Skywalker and Ackbar selected Anoth , a location not found on any star chart , as the location to hide the children . However , the Senate refused to subsidize a project only designed to house and safeguard two infants and their caretaker . This obstacle was overcome and the base was secretly funded to be a highly secure retreat that could be utilized for secret diplomatic meetings , a New Republic Intelligence safehouse , or if the need arose , a military base . Before , during and after construction was completed , Skywalker , Ackbar and Winter were the only individuals who knew the location of the base . Anyone traveling to Anoth Base , including Han and Leia , was piloted there by one of these three people . Winter raised the children as their full - time caregiver , while their parents visited as often as time permitted . The children were also cared for by a modified TDL / X1 nanny droid . In 11 ABY , after Jacen and Jaina were old enough to live with their parents , Anakin Solo remained the only child residing at Anoth Base . During this time , when the New Republic government was suffering the absence of Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar , Ambassador Furgan of Carida launched an assault on the facility in an attempt to kidnap the youngest Solo child . He had discovered the location through the unwilling agent Terpfen , who was Ackbar ' s personal starship mechanic . Furgan led the assault on Anoth Base personally and after losing nearly half his MT - ATs to the FIDO unit , was able to penetrate the base ' s blast doors . All his stormtrooper forces were eliminated by the bases interior defenses , until only he remained . He was fortunate enough to dispatch Anakin ' s armed nanny droid , TDL - 3 . 5 , and snatch the infant before being confronted by Leia Organa Solo , Admiral Ackbar and Terpfen . He lost his hold on the baby but was able to escape to a waiting MT - AT . Terpfen pursued him in another MT - AT and after a pitched battle , the Mon Calamari was able to push Furgan ' s walker over a cliff , ending the ambassador ' s life and the threat .
