Talay

Talay was an astronomical object located in the intersecting portion of the Outer Rim Territories and the Slice. It served as an operations headquarters for an organized rebellion against the Galactic Empire secretly led by Senator Mon Mothma, by 2 BBY.In Star Wars: The Rebel Files, the report regarding the rebel locations that included Talay is set between the introduction of the TIE/d "Defender" Multi-Role Starfighter and the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance, both of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 2 BBY. Talay's status in the rebellion was noted in a map of the galaxy that was sent to Mothma in 2 BBY, listing rebel safe worlds, starfighter hubs at level five or higher, operations headquarters, shadow planets, and deep space caches. Archivist Hendri Underholt later included the map in the compilation of non-electronic documents known as The Rebel Files.
