History
After the Battle of Endor, which saw the deaths of Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and a majority of Imperial leadership, and the destruction of the second Death Star and the Executor, Grand Admiral Thrawn greatly feared that once the New Republic liberated the galaxy from Imperial control, they would fight there way through the Unknown Regions. Although the New Republic wasn't aware of Thrawn, and the Imperial presence there, Thrawn needed a countermeasure to ensure safety. Thrawn would eventaully come to thought of what type of countermeasure was needed, a vast, powerful military stronghold. He authorized the creation of Pulsar Base.
