Patriim system

The Patriim system was located in the Outer Rim Territories' Seswenna sector and included the planet Patriim. The Galactic Empire had operations in the star system, with a source from the system spreading rumors to the rival Rebel Alliance about a dreadnought disguised as an asteroid being produced there.
The Empire also made major tactical deployments to the Patriim system by 1 BBY as part of the Death Star superweapon's construction. The Alliance caught wind of and began investigating these deployments. After coming under the custody of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Captain Ralchio Nervi alleged that there was a superweapon being built in the Patriim system. Nervi's captors did reconnaissance in the system, but did not find any superweapons.

By between 2 BBY and 1 BBY,The report mentioning the Patriim system in Star Wars: The Rebel Files is set between the Declaration of the Rebel Alliance and the defection of Bodhi Rook, which are respectively dated to 2 BBY and 1 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. the Galactic Empire had operations in the Patriim system. A source there reported to the Rebel Alliance's intelligence branch that the Empire was working on a dreadnought that was camouflaged as a space rock. Within Alliance Intelligence, Colonel Haxen Delto wrote a report to Chief of Intelligence General Airen Cracken on rumored Imperial superweapon projects emphasising that the source inside the Patriim system to be unreliable.
By 1 BBY,The report mentioning the Patriim system in Star Wars: Rogue One: Rebel Dossier is set shortly before the Battle of Scarif, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 1 BBY. the Empire made major tactical deployments to Patriim—as well as fifteen other locations including Eadu, Horuz, and Jedha—as part of the construction of its superweapon, the Death Star. The deployments involved frequent communications blackouts, with some of the Imperial operations sharing a set of nonstandard Imperial security protocols. The Alliance learned of these deployments, including ones that the Empire was transporting kyber crystals to the Patriim and Horuz systems. Cracken ordered the rebel agent Captain Cassian Andor to investigate the reports regarding Patriim and Horuz.
Andor's investigations led him to locations like Coruscant, Corulag, and the Ring of Kafrene, during which he learned of rumors that the Empire had been concealing its kyber shipments in civilian freighter convoys, some of which were passing through Kafrene to an unknown destination. Alliance Commander-in-Chief Mon Mothma indeed became concerned by the Imperial deployments to Patriim and the other locations, noting what the Alliance knew about them in her personal files.
During the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Alliance, the Empire had a dry dock stationed in the Patriim system. After being captured by the Alliance at the planet Xorrn, the Imperial Captain Ralchio Nervi revealed that the Empire had developed a superweapon similar to the late Death Star which he believed was being constructed in the Patriim system. Nervi's captors, led by rebel Agent Nath Alico, did a reconnaissance mission to the system and found the Empire's dry docks along with some Imperial Star Destroyers. They were unable to find a superweapon, however, and collected as much information as possible before returning to Xorrn.
