Facility 7970

Facility 7970, also referred to as the Dathomir Imperial Prison, was a top-security penal complex that was built by the Galactic Empire on the backwater Outer Rim planet of Dathomir. The prison was built shortly after the establishment of the Empire following the end of the Clone Wars, a large scale war that was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Facility 7970 was originally a part of a scheme to construct a number of high-security prisons on secluded planets in order to detain and segregate criminals of the Galactic Empire. Several years after the its construction, however, the facility came under constant assault by an indigenous group of Force-sensitive people known as the Nightsisters. In response to this, a member of the Imperial Inquisitorius known as Lyon Olof attempted to root the Nightsisters out, seeing them as a threat to both the prison and the Galactic Empire at large.

History
After the end of the Clone Wars, a conflict which gave rise to the formation of the, various Imperial officials thought that it would have been highly fitting to establish a series of top-security prison facilities on remote planets in order to properly incarcerate and segregate criminals who were regarded as highly dangerous, particularly prisoners of war who were captured following the defeat of the. With this, a proposal was given to build a number of these prisons on several remote worlds across the galaxy. This included the Outer Rim world of, which was seen as a practically ideal location for a secure penal complex due to the fact that it was regarded as a very isolated and relatively unknown backwater planet. The proposal was eventually accepted, resulting in the construction of the Dathomir Imperial Prison which was given the designation: Facility 7970.

At some point following the prison’s construction, Facility 7970 found itself under the growing threat of indigenous marauders who embarked on a number of attempted incursions against the facility. Unknown to the personnel within the Imperial prison, however, these marauders were actually an organized association of Force-sensitives known as Nightsisters, darksiders who were exiled from another indigenous group called the Witches of Dathomir. The attempted Nightsister raids were fended off with relative ease initially, though the prison’s security force gradually came to struggle in its attempt to keep the facility secure from this external threat which grew more relentless as time went by.

Due to the constant Nightsister assaults, Facility 7970 was eventually required to request further aid against the invaders, after which a member of the Imperial Inquisitorius known as Lyon Olof arrived at the facility with a contingent of stormtroopers. Inquisitor Olof studied various first-hand reports from security officials who had attempted to fend off the invaders during their numerous attacks. After recognizing key aspects of the attackers, such as their appearance and the methods that they used, Olof was eventually able to conclude that the invaders were, in fact, Nightsisters. Realizing that the group would have posed a very dangerous threat to the facility and potentially the Galactic Empire in general, Olof took control of the entire prison and commenced an operation to wipe the Nightisters out.
