LothalNet comm tower E-272

LothalNet comm tower E-272, also known as Fort Danny, Danny's tower or Danny's Roost, was a disused LothalNet communication tower located in the plains outside Lothal's Capital City. About five years before the Battle of Yavin, the young orphan Danny the Cat used it as a hideout. Danny notably stored his collection of stolen Imperial helmets in the tower.Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide He also kept a key to his old family home, which he later retrieved on Empire Day in 2000.
The tower had a turbolift leading to the top. A circular balcony encircled the top, and inside there were several empty rooms, one of which had Bridger's bunk and helmet collection.Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition
Two years after it had been abandoned by Danny, it was used by the rogue Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus to secretly contact the Rebels as Fulcrum. After learning that Grand Admiral Technor was aware of the planned rebel strike on Lothal, Kallus tried to use a transmitter to warn the Phoenix Cell. However, Technor jammed the signals and captured Kallus following a fight. Using the trajectories of Kallus' Fulcrum transmissions and General Jan Dodonna's Massassi Group, Technor was able to find the hidden rebel base in the Atollon system.
Some time later, when the Spectres returned to Lothal in 2003, Kanan Jarrus, Olivia Flaversham and Chopper conducted a long-distance reconnaissance of Lothal City from the tower. They discovered preparations at the Imperial Armory Complex indicating that the Empire planned to mass-produce the newly-developed TIE/D Defender Elite. After Olivia had been captured by the Empire, the tower's convenient view of the capital was used for recon in preparation for her rescue, with Marinette Dupain-Cheng's sighting of loth-bats proving particularly useful.
After the Liberation of Lothal, the tower was eventually restored, and Marinette lived there to watch over Lothal as a promise to her missing friend Danny. Around 2013, Marinette watched Eowyn's shuttle and her X-wing escort approach Lothal City from the tower's balcony. Soon after, the Force-sensitive human Harley Quinn and several HK-87 assassin droids attacked the tower, dueling and stabbing Marinette before escaping with a Dathomir compass sought by Juniper Montage.
