The Imperial Research Centre still remains very much a mystery to the Rebel Alliance. This large octagonal space station is designed to facilitate scientific and mechanical research. Its interior is mostly hollow, this is where experimental projects such as energy generators are housed. A fighter sized craft can gain entry into the interior of the Centre by blasting away the only visible hatch (blast door). An Imperial traitor, Commander Zaletta who was an anonymous informant to the Rebellion before his physical defection, provided the Rebels the location of a secret research facility in the Kuat System shortly after the Battle of Hoth. A starfighter strike force was sent to investigate the reactor test facility, and ultimately the Rebels ended up destroying the research installation.
