- "Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector is to rendezvous with escort carrier Tropsobor near Gerbaud 2. Tropsobor is delivering the new TIE Advanced, or "Avenger" as the test pilots like to call it."
- ―Imperial briefing officer
Gerbaud 2 was a planet located in the Sepan system,[3] a part of the Sepan sector[1] in the Slice portion of the Expansion Region.[2]
History[]
- "The Dimoks and the Ripoblus are hoping to catch us while we're vulnerable with a joint attack."
- ―Imperial briefing officer
It was over Gerbaud 2 that numerous prototype TIE Avengers were to be transferred from the escort carrier Tropsobor to the Victory-class Star Destroyer Protector; though a front from both the Dimoks and the Ripoblus thwarted the exchange.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, indicated in April 2023 that Gaerboud IV originally was a misspelling of Gerbaud 2.[5]
