Alkenzi Air Base

The Alkenzi Air Base was an air base on the planet Aldhani used by the Aldhani Garrison of the Galactic Empire.
==Description==
The Aldhani Air Base was built inside a ridge between two mountains 52 kilometers away from the Nasma Klain river where the Aldhani dam fortress was located. Among its features was a large hangar bay capable of housing at least one Lambda-class T-4a shuttle as well as four TIE/ln fighters in suspended racks. The hangar opened to a tunnel which led outside of the mountains to the ridge. It was guarded by a detachment of stormtroopers.
==History==
===Imperialization===
Following the Imperial occupation of Aldhani around 18 BBY, the Empire took over the pre-existing airbase in Alkenzi and modified it to house TIE fighters and Imperial ships.
===Aldhani dam heist===
In 5 BBY, a rebel team led by Vel Sartha, working under Luthen Rael and with assistance from disgruntled Imperial Lieutenant Gorn, performed a heist on the Aldhani dam complex in order to steal the sector quarterly payroll stored in its vault. During the heist, the dam's communication array was disabled as part of the rebel team's plan, and the command tower was captured resulting in the base personnel failing to respond to the airbase's status checks. As per standard protocol, three TIE fighters were immediately dispatched to the dam where they encountered the Rono freighter stored there escaping through the dam launch tunnel. The fighters pursued it through the Eye of Aldhani which was passing over the area at the time, resulting in all three fighters being destroyed by the Eye's nanoparticles.
