Elements of the Emperor's Hammer auxiliary fleet escort craft including the FRG Imperator, FRG Imperator and INT Harpax II recently engaged Rebel craft of the Sullust Defense Force. Although the Emperor's Hammer's presence seemingly delayed the imminent attack on the new Deathstar Battlestation at Endor, it has not served to stop it. The Rebel armada has completed preparations for their attack and their ships are poised for attack. Upon good advice from the General Johann Kane (ISB Liason Officer), the Imperial Security Bureau has ordered the flagship of the Emperor's Hammer, the SSD Avenger and her escorts, the VSD Formidable, VSD Monitor, VSD Ravager and TFC Roxanna to return to the Endor System immediately.

The purpose of our mission at Endor remains classified...the Wing Commander is not even saying. However, it is rumored in the Cantina that we will be patrolling in the vicinity of the planet Eloggi, which is one of the three mineral rich Imperial mining planets supplying materiel for construction of the new Deathstar. Eloggi is located near Endor's moon....The following description of the Endor System was published in A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (Bill Slaviscek, Del Rey/Ballantine Books, Lucasfilm, Inc., 1994, pp. 152-153):

"The Endor star system was selected as the construction site of the second death star battle station. The insignificant, out-of-the-way system had few planets and no major spaceports or travel routes, making it an ideal location for the secret Imperial project....Endor's moon is home to vast forests of giant trees, many predator species, and the tribal, tree-dwelling Ewoks.

Three other planets orbit the system's ancient sun, but they are too far away from its warm rays to support life. All three are rich in minerals and ores, and Imperial mining operations here once provided the materials necessary to build the second death star.

...Endor is a small moon that orbits around the planet Tana. A second, smaller moon also spins around Tana. Tana itself orbits a binary sun."
