Berzite

Berzite was a planet in Wild Space's Yost system that, in 3 BBY, was blockaded by the Galactic Empire in anticipation of rebel activity. As the rebel Phoenix Cell searched for a location for their new base, they initially declared one of Berzite's moons as a viable option until the astromech droid Chopper and his new ally AP-5 alerted them of the Imperial blockade there.
==Description==
Berzite was a planet with at least one moon. It was located in the Yost system, lying in Wild Space and within the area designated U-8 on the Standard Galactic Grid.
==History==
In 3 BBY, the Galactic Empire blockaded Berzite with six Star Destroyers. As the rebel Phoenix Cell searched for a secure world to house a new base, they cross-referenced old Republic and Lasat star maps and found that Berzite's moon was a suitable option. However, the rebel cruiser-carrier did not have enough fuel to make the journey. Thus, the rebel team known as the Spectres traveled to Horizon Base to steal the necessary fuel.
There, the astromech droid Chopper was separated from the team and stowed away aboard an Imperial cargo ship. Chopper befriended the inventory droid AP-5, who helped to commandeer the vessel. Upon hearing that the rebels planned to station their base on Berzite's moon, AP-5 warned them that the Empire had recently blockaded Berzite in anticipation of their move. Phoenix Cell ultimately staged their base on the planet Atollon instead. 
==Behind the scenes==
Berzite first appeared in a hologram in "The Forgotten Droid," the nineteenth episode in the second season of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels. The episode premiered on March 16, 2016. Although not identified in the episode, Berzite was named in the accompanying episode guide. The design of Berzite's holographic appearance was a retextured asset of a previously existing model of the planet Lothal. The illustration was completed by concept artist Sean Burke by March 25, 2015.
