Deployable research station

Deployable research stations were ground-based military research outposts used by the Republic Intelligence's Military Research Department that were able to be assembled and disassembled within a moment's notice, allowing Republic forces to relocate the outpost if its contents were threatened by Separatist forces. One such outpost was one assembled on Concordia during the Republic's Mandalore campaign in 19 BBY, which was used to research the components of the proposed Lancer Station before it was infiltrated by a Mandalorian agent sent by Count Dooku.
