New Plympto was a Core Worlds astronomical object that was the homeworld of the Nosaurian species and a safe world for Senator Mon Mothma's organized rebellion against the Galactic Empire, which was later officialized as the Rebel Alliance. The Alliance installed a package on a HoloNet satellite near New Plympto, which intercepted a high-priority message between the Imperials General Hurst Romodi and Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin in 0 BBY.
==Description==
New Plympto was a terrestrial astronomical object located within the Core Worlds.
==History==
By 2 BBY,In Star Wars: The Rebel Files, the report regarding the rebel locations that included New Plympto is set between the introduction of the TIE/d "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter and the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance, which are both dated to 2 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. New Plympto served as a safe world for an organized rebellion against the Galactic Empire, secretly led by Senator Mon Mothma. A galactic map made for Mothma that year noted that fact, covering the rebellion's safe worlds, starfighter hubs at level five or higher, operations headquarters, shadow planets, and deep space caches. Mothma officialized the rebellion as the Rebel Alliance later the same year.Star Wars: Timelines The Alliance had a package installed at a HoloNet network satellite located near New Plympto.
In 0 BBY,In Star Wars: The Rebel Files, the report mentioning the satellite near New Plympto is set between the secret mission to Tatooine and the Battle of Yavin, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to a time period that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas identifies as 0 BBY. a high-priority encrypted Imperial communique was relayed via the satellite near New Plympto and thus intercepted by the rebel package. The communication was from Imperial General Hurst Romodi to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, in which the general reported on data leakage regarding the Empire's DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station and urged the grand moff to take action against political and military opposition immediately. Rebel Colonel Haxen Delto had the message decrypted and passed along to General Airen Cracken, who reported the findings to Mothma from near New Plympto in an official document.
That document, as well as the map of the rebellion locations, was included by archivist Hendri Underholt in an archive of non-electronic documents known as The Rebel Files. New Plympto was also eventually mentioned in an entry of an artist's journal that covered the Nosaurian species. The journal was later restored, expanded, and displayed in the Graf Archive at some point no earlier than 34 ABY.
