Steergard

Steergard was the site of the one of the Galactic Empire's naval bases. Some of Steergard's Imperial technology was stolen by thieves that interacted with the rebel agent Luthen Rael and his shadowy anti-Imperial network. Dedra Meero, a Supervisor in the Empire's Imperial Security Bureau, had jurisdiction over Steergard's sector and began investigating a link with one of the thefts there and thefts of Imperial technology elsewhere.

After discovering the Starpath unit was gone, the Imperials at Steergard attempted to cover up the theft, afraid of the consequences of its disclosure. Nevertheless the disappearance came to the attention of Dedra Meero, a Supervisor in the Empire's Imperial Security Bureau who oversaw Steergard's sector.
Andor attempted to sell the stolen Imperial Starpath unit to Rael in 5 BBY, but the pair were interrupted when the Pre-Mor Authority Security Forces tried to apprehend the thief over a different crime. The Starpath unit was left at the scene and recovered by the Empire, soon catching the attention of Meero. The Supervisor was able to investigate the matter further under suspicions of the existence of Rael's network, trying to link it with thefts at locations like Kessel, Fondor, Jakku, and Base Cay.
